If you don’t know how much balance is there in your PF account, you can check it in a very easy way. Here are some simple methods. Almost all working people in India have a PF account. This account is used as a future savings fund. When a person works in a company, a fixed amount is taken from their salary every month and deposited into the PF account.
PF Account: Money is Given by Both the Employee and the Company
In a PF (Provident Fund) account, money is added by both the employee and the company (employer). Usually, 12% of the basic salary is given by the employee, and another 12% is given by the company. The government also gives interest every year on this money.
