## Frequently asked questions

### What if I increase my VPF contribution on top of EPF?

Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) allows you to contribute more than the mandatory 12%, up to 100% of basic salary. VPF earns the same 8.25% and is EEE. For a ₹20,000 basic salary, contributing an extra 4% (₹800/month) in VPF over 20 years can add over ₹5 lakhs to the corpus.

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

Full EPF withdrawal requires retirement (58+) or permanently leaving employment. Partial withdrawals are allowed for specific life events. At age 50, if still employed, you cannot fully withdraw. Your EPF balance continues to compound at 8.25% p.a.

### How does EPF at ₹20,000 basic compare to NPS?

EPF on ₹20,000 basic gives ₹3,134/month total contributions (employee + employer) earning 8.25%. NPS offers market-linked returns (typically 9–12% over long terms) plus an additional ₹50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B). For a 20-year horizon, NPS equity tier can outperform EPF if equity markets perform well.
