NEW DELHI : As a temporary relief measure to increase in-hand salary during the coronavirus crisis, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has reduced the employees' provident fund (EPF) contribution by 4% for three months.

Employees of around 6.5 lakh companies will benefit with liquidity of around ₹2,250 crore every month. According to the rule, employees and employers deposit 24% -- 12% each of basic salary and dearness allowance (DA) -- as EPF deductions every month for the retirement kitty maintained by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).

Now, the statutory deduction has been cut by a total of 4% (2% of employer's contribution and 2% of employee's contribution).

RBI on Covid-19: From inflation over growth to inflation and growth

NEW DELHI : If there is one entity that has earned the respect of a very cynical and hard-to-please group of people – stock and bond dealers, people in the financial sector and economists – it is the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the governorship of Shantikata Das. The confident body language, the measured speech and the emphatic statements about doing what it takes to beat the economy back into shape are in stark contrast to a fumbling finance minister – Nirmala Sitharaman – whose body language largely based on unfamiliarity with financial market terms and concepts, does not instill the same sense of comfort and confidence that Das does.
