The Central Government had launched Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) which is a retirement benefit scheme maintained by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The employee and the employer contribute to the EPF scheme on monthly basis in equal proportions of 12% of the basic salary and dearness allowance as mentioned under the provision of the law.
