The Great Calibration: Key Features of the 2026 U.S.-India Trade Deal

  The early weeks of 2026 have witnessed a seismic shift in the geopolitical and economic landscape as the United States and India finalised a landmark trade deal.

Rules related to PF contribution will change from August, your hand salary will be reduced

In May, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slashed the EPF contribution by 4 per cent for 3 months. As a result, employees of about 6.5 lakh companies benefited about Rs 2,250 crore every month.   As per the rule, the amount of money the employee deducts for the PF fund, the same amount of money the employer has to pay for this fund. In such a case, if your basic salary is 25 thousand rupees, then instead of 3000 rupees in PF, now the contribution of 2,500 will go and the same will be added to your company. That is, every month your PF fund will reach 1000 r...
