## Frequently asked questions

### What if my ₹15,000 basic salary increases by 5% each year over 20 years?

With annual 5% salary hikes, both your contributions and the corpus grow substantially more. Compounding over 20 years means each salary increase has a multiplier effect on the final corpus, potentially making it 50–80% higher than a flat-salary estimate.

### Can I withdraw EPF after 20 years even if I am still employed?

Full EPF withdrawal requires retirement (58+) or leaving employment. At 50 years of age, you cannot withdraw the full EPF unless you leave the job. Partial withdrawals are allowed for specific purposes (house, medical, education). For retirement at 58, contributions after age 50 still earn 8.25%.

### How does EPF at ₹15,000 basic compare to voluntary NPS contributions?

EPF at ₹15,000 basic means you contribute ₹1,800/month (12%) and your employer contributes ₹550/month EPF (3.67%). NPS offers an additional 80CCD(1B) deduction of ₹50,000/year. For tax optimisation, max out EPF first (mandatory) then consider NPS for the extra ₹50,000 deduction.
