Is EPF better than PPF for retirement?
EPF (8.25%) gives higher returns than PPF (7.1%) and both are tax-free. EPF is mandatory for salaried employees with employer matching. PPF has ₹1.5L annual limit. For retirement: EPF first, then VPF or NPS for additional savings. Both qualify for 80C deduction.
