For how long do you get interest?
As per the information given by EPFO, till you do not settle your account, you get interest. But, there are many conditions in this too. For example, suppose you deposited money in your PF account till retirement and you do not withdraw that money even after retirement, you will continue to get interest. However, if you do not make any settlement for three years, you will get interest, but after three years your account becomes inactive. In such a situation, withdrawing money from PF after retirement is the right option.
