No uniformity in PF interest rates!

Government has many provident/pension schemes like PPF, GPF, EPF/CPF, NPS but there is no uniformity in interest rates and the public is completely confused. Govt. creates differential treatment and not able to justify the different interest rates on similar scheme. Why Govt. cannot fix the same interest rates for all these schemes and option is left to public to select the scheme best fits to his requirement. PPF interest rates have been reduced to 8.1% from April 2016 where Finance Ministry has approved EPF interest rates to 8.7%. Why so? Please approve the same interest rates at least for PPF, GPF, EPF/CPF, there should not be any differential/discriminatory rates. Follow the same rules for all the similar products.
