Common Mistakes to Avoid
Critical financial oversights that reduce long-term returns
Assuming all VPF interest is tax-free regardless of amount: Under Section 10(11), interest on employee EPF+VPF contributions exceeding ₹2.5 Lakhs/year is taxable.
Confusing Employer EPF matching with VPF: Employers are NOT required to match voluntary VPF contributions; employer contributions remain capped at 12% of basic salary.
Ignoring annual salary increments: Failing to factor in annual salary growth understates your final 25-30 year retirement corpus significantly.
