Employees' Provident Fund: When was the last time you checked your provident fund balance? You are likely to be surprised, the next time you do. Under Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), both employees and employers contribute 12% of the basic salary of the employee every month. And, that's what makes this one of the best investment schemes. Provident Fund is basically a part of your salary that goes towards investment every month and after a while, you almost forget about it, only to realise that you have saved a major amount.
