The Employees' Provident Fund, abbreviated to EPF, is a social security scheme of employees in Sri Lanka under the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. It was established under Act No. 15 of 1958 by S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike,[3] and as of December 2010, it had Rs 899.6 billion, which is equivalent to 16% of the GDP.[4] The EPF offers a joint action plan by the employer and the employee to save money by targeting retirement and future to the government as well as the private sector.
