What happens to EPF account if it remains inactive for 3 yrs?
An Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) account becomes inoperative if a contribution has not been made for three years after retirement or permanent migration abroad or in case of death. "No interest is paid on such accounts," EPFO said about inoperative accounts. "If you are still working and have a new EPF account, transfer inoperative account to new account," it added.
