Status of your EPF account during a 1-2 year career gap
Should you decide to take a break from your career for one or two years, your EPF account will generally stay active and keep accruing interest. According to EPFO guidelines, the account continues to earn interest until the individual reaches the age of 58, regardless of whether new contributions are made. Furthermore, taking a break does not impact the five-year requirement for tax-free withdrawals, as the rule specifically accounts for years in which EPF deposits were made.
