Employed people invest in Employee Provident Funds (PF Account) as savings. On which they are given interest by the government. A part of the salary is invested in this. The government has increased the rates of PF. Account holders (EPF Members) will get interest at the interest rate of 8.15 percent.

Before this, the interest was reduced. Which was 8.1 percent. But do you know that PF account holders can withdraw money from their account if necessary? If you want, you can withdraw money from your PF account for your or your children's marriage.

How much money can be withdrawn?
If the account holder wishes, he can withdraw advance for his own marriage or for the marriage of his family members. Apart from son and daughter, the family members also include brothers and sisters. That means advance money can be withdrawn from PF accounts for the marriage of brother and sister.
