As EPFO is planning to directly credit units of Exchange Trade Funds (ETF) into provident fund accounts which may result in lower yields on other investments more particularly bonds, interest rate cut is likely to happen.

However, the official added that EPFO is yet to work out the income projection for the current fiscal based on which interest rate cut will be decided.

The policy is to enable the EPF body to credit ETFs units into the provident fund accounts of the subscribers by the fiscal end, thereby to enable every account holder to see his/ her provident fund balance in the form of cash balance and ETF units.

Members of EPFO will only be able to realize the entire returns on the equity linked investments at the time of withdrawals even though the dividends on ETFs are credited into the subscribers’ accounts on timely basis.

At the same time, subscribers will also have an option to withdraw money while taking advances from their accounts, by liquidating ETF units or from cash component.

The finance ministry has been pushing the labour ministry to adjust the EPF rate at per with its small saving schemes like public provident fund. In the month of February 2018, the trustees of EPFO had decided to lower the rate of interest on EPF to 8.55 per cent for 2018-19 from 8.65 per cent provided for 2016-17.
