Hi,
1. Employee provident fund (EPF) amount is exempted from tax when if it is withdrawn after retirement. Tax is applicable only when the employee has not completed total 5 years of continuous service and te EPF withdrawal amount is more than 50,000.
2. Yes Interest will be paid till withdrawal but after 58 years only 3 years interest will be paid after that the interest will not be paid.
3. After the age of 58, full EPF amount can be withdrawn. Pension contribution can be withdrawn if less than 10 years of continuous service or can apply for pension if the total service period is more than 10 years.
4. After retirement if the employee is continuing in service PF can be contributed. Without in service PF alone cannot be contributed.
