Expect higher EPFO returns if authorities remove equity-linked investment cap

With an aim to increase the return on the retirement corpus, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is considering a proposal to raise the equity investment limit to 25 per cent, from the existing 15 per cent. 

The proposal envisages raising the equity exposure to 25 per cent in two phases — to 20 per cent in the first phase and 25 per cent in the second, according to the report.
