The proposal to change the investment pattern for increasing the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s investments in government securities (G-Secs) or government guaranteed bonds to 65 per cent from existing 50 per cent is expected to be vetted by its trustees in a meeting scheduled on Tuesday.
