Unions flay decision on PF

The AITUC State council has called on the Union government to quash the order slashing the Provident Fund interest from 9.5 per cent to 8.25 per cent. A press note quoting AITUC general secretary Kanam Rajendran said the Finance Ministry had ignored the demand raised by employees' representatives to raise the interest. He said the decision would affect 5 crore employees. The reduction came at a time when RBI was resorting to upward revision of interest to curb currency inflation.
