What is Provident Fund

A Provident Fund (PF) is a type of retirement savings plan designed to help individuals save for their future. Here's a general overview:

Contribution: Both employees and employers contribute to the PF. Typically, a percentage of the employee's salary is deducted and deposited into the fund, with the employer making a matching contribution.

Interest: The amount in the PF usually earns interest over time.

Withdrawals: PFs are generally intended for retirement savings, but there may be provisions for withdrawals under certain conditions, such as for medical expenses, education, or purchasing a home.

Tax Benefits: Employer contributions to a PF are tax-deductible, and the interest earned is often tax-free, although there may be tax implications upon withdrawal.

Administration: The fund is managed by a designated authority or financial institution that oversees the investments and ensures the proper management of contributions and withdrawals.
