Advanced Services FAQs
Who is eligible for higher pension under EPS-95?
▼
Members who contributed on salary above the statutory ceiling (₹5,000 or ₹6,500 depending on period) before September 1, 2014, and opted for higher pension jointly with their employer before the extended deadline of March 3, 2023, are eligible. We help assess your specific eligibility based on service history.
What is VPF and how is it different from EPF?
▼
VPF (Voluntary Provident Fund) is an additional contribution beyond the mandatory 12% of basic salary that employees can choose to make. It earns the same interest rate as EPF (currently 8.25% p.a.) and enjoys the same tax benefits under Section 80C. Unlike EPF, VPF is entirely voluntary and the contribution amount can be chosen by the employee.
What does an EPF audit cover?
▼
We review contribution accuracy against actual salaries, verify compliance with statutory requirements, check interest calculation correctness, identify any discrepancies in passbook entries, and ensure timely deposit of contributions. For employers, we also audit ECR filings and statutory compliance.
Can NRIs withdraw EPF?
▼
Yes, NRIs can withdraw their EPF balance. However, tax implications vary based on residential status and the period of withdrawal. Withdrawal before 5 years of service attracts TDS. We guide NRIs on the optimal timing and process, including Form 13 for transfer or Form 19 for final settlement.
What is an exempted PF trust?
▼
An exempted PF trust is a private provident fund trust set up by an employer that is exempt from depositing contributions with EPFO, subject to certain conditions. The employer manages the fund internally while complying with EPFO rules. We provide compliance management and audit support for such trusts.
