Hello Sir, In one of your earlier answers, you have mentioned that " As per EPFO rule change as on April 2016, all inoperative accounts will be allowed to receive Interest till 58 years. So you can continue the account and not close the same". I can’t add the URL for the previous answer as Rediff is not allowing to add URLs in the response. The above statement seems to be outdated. As per FAQ page on EPF website - If no contribution is received into a PF account for 3 consecutive years the account shall not earn any interest after 3 years from the stopping of contribution. In the previous answer it was also mentioned that "It is not mandatory to withdraw within 36 months post resignation". But as per EPF website, the account will be inoperative after 3 years if no further PF contributions are made. So, if no further PF contribution after leaving job, it's better to apply for PF withdrawal before the end of the 36-month period from leaving the last job as no interest will be paid after 36 months and the account will become inoperative. Just wanted to bring this to your notice for public awareness. Thanks.

Dear Sir, I am now 60 years old and still employed. My company continues to contribute to my PF as I am still working. I was told that there is no interest for PF 3 years after 58 years age. If I am not getting any interest in my PF account, please advice what I should do. Thanks a lot for your advice. Vijay
