Government weighs raising EPFO wage ceiling to Rs 25,000 a month
The government is considering a significant increase in the EPFO wage ceiling to Rs 25,000 from Rs 15,000, aiming to extend social security to more workers. This move, prompted by a Supreme Court directive, could boost the EPFO corpus but will reduce employees' take-home pay and increase employer costs.
