Every month, a fixed amount is deducted from an employee's salary and deposited in the Employee Provident Fund by the employer, who contributes the same amount.

This sum earns an interest, which is also credited to the employee's account.

The Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) website offers an online service, which helps the employees know the balance in their accounts.
