More savings in the offing: VPF limit for tax-free interest may be hiked

By Economic Times - 4 weeks ago
The move is aimed at encouraging the lower-middle and middle income salaried classes to save more via EPFO and enable them to build a reasonable retirement kitty. The FY22 budget imposed a Rs 2.5 lakh ceiling on voluntary contribution, above which the interest accrued is taxed. The move was targeted at high-income employees using the facility to earn tax-free interest exceeding that on bank or fixed deposits.
