<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Employees&rsquo; Provident Fund (EPF) is one of the most important savings tools for salaried employees in India. Started in November 1951, it helps you build a financial safety net for the future. Every month, both you and your employer contribute a fixed portion of your salary to your EPF account, which is managed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. Since most private companies do not offer pensions, EPF plays a key role in retirement planning.&nbsp;</span></p>
