Ministry for better PF returns
The four-crore EPFO subscribers may receive a higher rate of interest on their PF deposits for the fiscal 2008-09 with the labour ministry pressing for it with the finance ministry. The labour and employment minister Oscar Fernandes is also likely to take a delegation of members of the Central Board of Trustees to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue. PF subscribers received 8.5 per cent return on their deposits during 2007-08.
