India’s Finance Ministry greenlights a higher EPF interest rate of 8.15% for the financial year 2023, a slight increase from last year’s 8.10%. This decision will distribute over ₹90,000 crore to EPF members, with total savings reaching ₹11 trillion. Over 60 million EPF account holders stand to benefit from the increased interest rate.
You Might Have Heard This?
The Finance Ministry of India has approved a suggestion from the Central Board of Trustees regarding the interest rate for the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) account for FY23. The Central Board of Trustees recommended an 8.15% annual interest rate, slightly higher than the previous year’s 8.10% rate.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment has instructed authorities to add the recommended interest to EPF members’ accounts, resulting in a distribution of over ₹90,000 crore to EPF members’ accounts.
This is the highest amount ever distributed as interest, as the income earned and total savings of EPF members have increased by over 16% and 15% compared to the previous financial year 2021-22.
The Finance Ministry has approved this suggestion, and the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) can now start providing increased interest to all EPF account holders. The EPFO currently has over 60 million subscribers, meaning there are over 60 million people with an EPF account.

Why Monexo?
Monexo, as a P2P lending platform, offers several advantages over traditional savings schemes like PPF (Public Provident Fund). Let’s explore how Monexo stands out and why it may be a better option for investors and borrowers alike.
- Higher Returns: PPF provides fixed returns set by the government, which may not always keep up with inflation. In contrast, Monexo allows investors to earn potentially higher returns of 13% by lending directly to borrowers, tapping into the dynamic nature of the market.
- Flexibility: PPF has a long lock-in period, typically 15 years, making it less suitable for those with short-term financial goals or urgent cash needs. Monexo, however, provides flexible loan terms, allowing borrowers to access quick and unsecured loans for their various needs.
- Diversification: With PPF, the investment is concentrated in one government-backed scheme. On the other hand, Monexo enables investors to diversify their investment across multiple borrowers, reducing risk and potentially improving returns.
- Ease of Access: PPF accounts are often managed through banks or post offices, requiring physical visits and paperwork. In contrast, Monexo’s online platform allows investors and borrowers to access their accounts and manage transactions conveniently from anywhere, saving time and effort.
- Shorter Processing Time: While PPF accounts may take time to open or avail loans, Monexo’s streamlined process ensures quick loan approvals and efficient investment opportunities, making it more suitable for those in need of timely financial assistance.
As joining hands with the P2P lending revolution, Monexo brings the power of innovative fintech solutions to India. Embrace the future of lending and investing with Monexo as they continue to shape a better financial landscape for all.
