The EPF, known as the Employees' Provident Fund, is a retirement savings programme provided by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). EPF has long been considered an effective way to save for retirement and plan for taxes. The contributions made by your employer into your EPF account were not subject to income tax, and the interest you earned on your EPF savings was also tax-free without any limitations.
