EPFO said this
EPFO said in a post on social media X that interest rates for EPF members are not deposited quarterly. Usually annual interest rates are declared in the first quarter of the financial year following the end of the financial year. The Government of India already releases the interest rate of 8.25% for the financial year 2023-24 for EPF members. On 31-05 2024, EPFO has released money to the members leaving EPFO membership on the basis of revised interest rates.

However, EPFO has not yet given any clarification regarding active EPF members as to when they will get the payment of interest for the financial year 2023-24. Many active members have asked EPFO on social media when they will get EPF credit.
