💡 EPFO Contribution Breakdown Guide:
• Employee PF Share (12%): 100% of employee deduction is credited to EPF and earns interest.
• Employer EPF Share (3.67%): Out of employer's 12% contribution, 3.67% goes to the EPF account and earns monthly interest. The remaining 8.33% (subject to ₹1,250 max on ₹15,000 statutory wage ceiling) goes to EPS (Pension Fund), which is accounted separately and does not earn EPF passbook interest.
• Passbook Credit Month: Contributions deposited by employer (e.g. in April) relate to the previous month's wage (March wage) and earn interest starting from the following month.

2. Compounding & Rounding: Interest is calculated every month on the eligible running balance:

2. Compounding & Rounding: Interest is calculated every month on the eligible running balance:
Monthly Interest = (Eligible Balance × Annual Rate) / 1200. The sum of 12 monthly interest amounts is rounded off to the nearest rupee and credited to the closing balance at the financial year end (31st March).
