EPF Interest Rate Steady at 8.25%: Reliable but No Boost

The EPFO has decided to keep the interest rate on EPF deposits at a steady 8.25% for the 2025-26 year. This means over seven crore employees can expect stable returns, but no extra oomph for their retirement savings. While it's reliable, those looking for a bit more growth might want to dip their toes into equity investments too.
