1) What is PPF?

The Public Provident Fund (PPF) Scheme is a tax-free savings account scheme offered by the Government of India. The PPF is a safe investment because it is backed by the Government and can’t be attached for your debt or liability. The benefits of a PPF account you can enjoy are high returns, tax-exemption, and security to capital.

2) How to open/invest in a PPF account?

Places, where a PPF account can be opened are Post Office & Banks(Selective). Most banks offer online facilities to open a PPF account, whereas a Post Office still follows the traditional offline method. Let’s take a look at the eligibility criteria and requirements to open a PPF account.

Eligibility to open a PPF account:

  • The individual should be an Indian resident.
  • The individual should not hold any other PPF account. An individual can hold only one PPF account.
  • NRI’s cannot open a new PPF account. But an NRI who opened a PPF account while they were residing in India can continue to deposit only until the maturity period.
  • Minors can open a PPF account in association with their parent/guardian.

Documents required to open a PPF account:

  • PPF account opening Application Form – from the respective platform (Bank/Post Office).
  • Identity Proof (PAN/Driving license/Voter ID/Passport/Aadhar Card).
  • Address Proof (Telephone bill/Ration card/Aadhar Card)
  • Two passport size photograph.
  • In case of a minor account holder, Birth Certificate will be required.

Remember to take all the originals and also a photo-copy that is self-attested. A minimum deposit of ₹ 500 should be made while opening the PPF account.

3) What is the interest rate of the PPF scheme (as in July 2021)?

The interest rate of the PPF scheme will change for every quarter of a financial year in accordance with the Government bond yield. The interest rate of the PPF savings scheme has been around 8% on an average for the past 15 years consistently.

he current interest rate for PPF is % p.a for the 2nd quarter (July – September) of 2021.

4) How is the interest calculated in a PPF account?

[the_ad id=’15206′]

For the balance amount in your PPF account, the interest is compounded annually. However, the interest calculation will be done each and every month.

A tip to get maximum interest from PPF:

If your contribution to the PPF account is credited on or before 5th of that month, then that contribution will bear interest for that month too. If it is credited after 5th of that month, you will get interest only from the subsequent month. Therefore, if you make sure your contribution is

getting credited in your account on or before 5th of that month, and then you will not miss the interest for that month as well.

5) When does PPF interest get credited?

As per norms, PPF interest is calculated every month but it is credited into the account at the end of every financial year on March 31.

6) What is the minimum and maximum investment of a PPF?

The minimum amount needed to be invested every year is Rs.500. The maximum amount of investment allowed every year is ₹ 1.50 lacs. You can make investments in a lump sum or through a maximum of 12 installments per year. If your minor child also holds a PPF account then the combined limit of both the PPF account is limited to ₹ 1.50 lacs.

Not making the minimum investment in a year will attract a penalty of ₹50.

If you invest more than the ₹ 1.5 lacs limit, you will not get any interest for the excess amount and it will be refunded to you.

7) What are the tax benefits in a PPF account?

Under Section 80 C, the contribution you make in PPF is eligible for a tax deduction. Also, the interest from PPF is also tax-free.

These tax benefits are available as the PPF falls under EEE (Exempt, Exempt, Exempt) tax basket.

But the tax-exemption by 80 C is limited to a maximum investment of ₹ 1.5 lacs.

Tax benefits of PPF after maturity period:

You can enjoy the tax benefits even after the maturity period of 15 years if you choose the option to extend it with or without fresh contribution under section 80 C limitations (< ₹ 1.5 Lacs).

8) When does a PPF account mature?

A PPF account will mature at the end of the 15th year. This can be extended for one or more blocks of 5 years thereafter.

There is a common confusion about the maturity period of the PPF. For example: If you open a PPF account on 20th June 2020 most people think their PPF mature exactly after 15 years, on 20th June 2035. But your PPF will actually mature on 1st April of 2036. (a PPF matures only on the beginning of the subsequent financial year after completion of 15 years)

9) How to extend the PPF maturity period?

In order to extend the PPF account without fresh contribution, you need not do anything. The account gets extended automatically for the next set of 5 years. Interest will be earned for the existing balance for the next 5 years. Once the PPF account is continued without minimum deposit for more than a year, you cannot make a deposit to that account for the next 5 years.

In order to extend the PPF account with a fresh contribution, you need to intimate the Accounts Office within one year after maturity along with a filled-in Form-H. If you keep making deposits after maturity without intimation through Form-H, then your account will be treated as irregular and no interest will be paid.

What are the three options available on the maturity of PPF account?

  • Option:1 Anytime after 15 years, you can close the account by submitting Form-3 to the account office. The accounts office shall allow you to withdraw the amount along with due interest.
  • Option:2 You can use the account after maturity without making any further deposits and still earn interest. You can withdraw money once a year within the deposits. But the drawback is, if you haven’t made any deposit for more than a year, then you cannot have the option to continue the account with deposits.
  • Option:3 You can extend your PPF account with further deposits during the block period of 5 years by submitting Form-3 to the accounts office. But you have to apply before the expiry of one year from the maturity of the account. If you have failed to submit the form within the first year of maturity, then you need to continue your account without any further deposits.Even if you deposit the money, it will be considered as a regular account and it will be refunded without any interest. 
    If you are planning to extend your account after maturity, then you can withdraw 60% of money in one instalment during a block period. Or more than one instalment in different years but not exceed one withdrawal in a year.

10) Can I withdraw from my PPF account before maturity?

Yes. You can withdraw from the 7th year. However, you can withdraw only up to 50% of the balance at the end of 4th year or 50% of the balance at the end of the immediate preceding year whichever is lower. You are allowed to withdraw only once in a year.

How to withdraw from PPF account in case of an emergency?

After completion of the 5th year, you can close the PPF account in case of emergency situations like,

  • A life-threatening medical diagnosis of the account holder, spouse, children, parent or the minor account holder.
  • Higher education expense of account holder or the minor account holder.

Documents required to withdraw from PPF account before maturity

  • Form-C.
  • Any documents as proof for the emergency event.

11) How to withdraw from PPF account after maturity?

Once your PPF is matured, you can close the account and withdraw the full amount from the account. Also, as we discussed earlier you can choose to extend the term of PPF for another 5 years with or without contribution.

The documents required to withdraw the balance from the PPF account after maturity.

  • Form-C filled in by the PPF account holder.
  • Passbook of the PPF account holder.

12) Can I get a loan against my PPF account?

Yes. You can avail the loan facility only from the 3 Financial year to the 6th Financial year. For example: if you opened a PPF account on 20th June 2020, (i.e. FY 2020-21) you can get a loan from 1st April 2022 (i.e. FY 2022-23) to 31st March 2026 (i.e. FY 2025-26).

You will be allowed to take a loan to the extent of 25% of the balance in the previous year.

However, you are allowed to take a loan only once in a year.

How to get a loan against my PPF account?

From the 3rd year to 6th year, you are eligible to apply for a loan against your PPF account.

The documents required to get loan against PPF account

  • Form-D filled by the PPF account holder.
  • Passbook of the PPF account holder.

PPF Loan Interest rate:

The interest rate for the loan against PPF account is 2% above the PPF interest rate you receive.

PPF Loan Repayment:

The loan against PPF must be repaid within 36 months. After repayment, you can avail a loan with the 6th Financial year. Even if you repay the loan in the same year, you cannot take another loan within the same year.

13) Can an NRI open a PPF account?

The 2019 notification about NRI PPF account states that an NRI can’t open a new PPF account. If you have opened a PPF account as a resident and subsequently you become an NRI, you will be allowed to continue and contribute until the maturity of 15 years on a non-repatriable basis. The NRI PPF account holder cannot extend the tenure of the PPF.

How to Invest/deposit in an existing NRI PPF account?

If you hold a PPF account and have become an NRI during the tenure, you can continue to deposit/invest in the PPF account through your Non-Resident Ordinary or Nonresident External (NRO/NRE) account.

PPF account in case of death

14) What happens if the PPF account holder dies?

In the event of the death of the PPF account holder, the balance amount in the PPF account will be paid to the nominee or legal heir of the deceased person even before the completion of 15 years.

The death benefit from the PPF account is the contributions made along with the accrued interest
The nominee or the legal heir is not allowed to continue the PPF account by making fresh contributions to it.

Documents required for death claim from PPF account:

After the death of PPF account holder, the account needs to be properly closed to avoid legal action. The below mentioned documents are required for death claim from PPF account.

  • Form-G filled by all nominees.
  • Death certificate of the PPF account holder.
  • Passbook of the PPF account holder.

What if the account holder died without a nominee?

If the account holder died without mentioning a nominee and if the eligible money does not exceed Rs. 5 Lakh, then the authorised officer of the account office or the authority specified by the Institution to which accounts office belongs can pay the same to the rightful legal-hire.

Rightful legal-hire can use Form-11 and the following documents to claim the money.

Documents needed:

  • Death Certificate of the PPF Account Holder
  • Passbook or deposit receipt or Original Statement of account
  • Affidavit in Form-13
  • Letter of Disclaimer in Form-14
  • Bond of indemnity in Form-15

Documents needed:

  • Claim Form
  • Passbook or deposit receipt or Original Statement of account
  • Death Certificate of the PPF Account Holder

15) PPF nomination rules.

Nomination is not allowed for an account opened on behalf of a minor. You cannot make a Trust as your nominee.

The nominee can only collect the accrued amount on death of the subscriber but is not allowed to continue contributing to the PPF account, because a PPF account is not transferable.

If nomination is not mentioned in the PPF account, then the balance amount goes to the legal heirs or holders of succession certificate.

According to the Law of Succession, if the nominee is not the legal heir, then the nominee can only act as a trustee for the benefits of the legal heirs or the holder of succession certificate. The nominee cannot resist to handover the amount to the legal heirs.

How many nominees can be in a PPF account?

A person can add four nominees when he/she opens a PPF account. You can add or remove nomination at any time during the tenure period of the PPF(at free of cost).

  • Form-E is the documents required to add a name in the nomination in PPF account.
  • Form-F is the documents required to change the name in the nomination in PPF account.

In case of multiple nominees, you should mention the % of the share for each nominee. If the share % is not mentioned, then the amount will be shared EQUALLY.

Also, if any one of the nominees died, other survivors can claim the amount by submitting his death certificate during the claim. And the share will be shared to the surviving nominees equally.

With the above points, you could have got a clear review of PPF. PPF is an excellent tax saving option . It needs to be part of your tax-saving investment or not, depends upon your overall tax plan and asset allocation for the current year. Do your tax plan and check PPF fits into your tax plan in the current year.

    Thanks for sharing these tips.

    As per article – nomination is not allowed to an account opened on behalf of minors.

    In the event of death of minor, who gets the money? Can ppf account be transferred to the guardian who opened the account on behalf of minor?

    Is the minor’s PPF account supposed to be linked to the guardians bank account. On the passbook should the parent or guardian who opened the account on behalf of minor be mentioned with their account number, especially if they also avail the 80C facility on depositing to the PPF.

After transfer of account at the end of year 2021- 22 will I get interest for whole year from SBI or only 9 month interest from SBI. Will there be an interest loss during transition period if transfer of account takes place after 5th date of the month?

      “The usual transfer process will take up to one month.
      Though transferring of PPF account requires you to undergo the KYC process, the transfer of account will be considered as a continuing account. Hence, all benefits such as interest earned, premature withdrawal, loan facility will not be affected.

      A new PPF passbook will be issued to you and your outstanding balance will be shown as a credit of balance transfer. It is advisable to take a photocopy of the old passbook for record of old transactions.”

      2) If the nominee wants to withdraw the amount before the maturity, then they will get 1% less interest.
      3)If the nominee wants to wait till the account mature, then they can wait without investing any fresh contribution in the PPF account.”

      “They mean the succession certificate. A succession certificate will be given by a civil court to the legal heir(s) in case the deceased of the PPF account holder.
      To get a succession certificate, you need to submit a petition to the civil court in whose jurisdiction the PPF account lies.
      You also need to submit the death certificate of the deceased person. The court will issue a notification in newspapers for 45 days and if there are no contestants during that period, the succession certificate will be issued to relevant applicants.”

I went to SBI on 5th Sept and requested to accept Rs 50/- penalty and Rs 500/- as subscription for the Year 2019-20. and submitted form E for revival of five years . Bank returned the form saying that the account is matured but irregular cannot be extended and credits and debits are not allowed on such accounts and they can be only closed. this appears against the PPF rules.

      “You can extend your PPF account with further deposits during the block period of 5 years by submitting Form-3 to the accounts office. But you have to apply before the expiry of one year from the maturity of the account. If you have failed to submit the form within the first year of maturity, then you need to continue your account without any further deposits. Even if you deposit the money, it will be considered as a regular account and it will be refunded without any interest.
      If you are planning to extend your account after maturity, then you can withdraw 60% of the money in one instalment during a block period. Or more than one instalment in different years but not exceed one withdrawal in a year.”

Because of COVID and her age and health, my mother hasn’t been going out at all and hasn’t been able to inform the bank where my dad’s PPF is about his demise.

        Alongside all the other documents can the Surviving Member Certificate issued by The SDM be considered instead of the Court’s Succession Certificate / Legal Heir Certificate / Letter of Administration.

      Since your ppf account matured, you can close the account by submitting Form-3 to the account office. The accounts office shall allow you to withdraw the amount along with the due interest. The interest rate offered on PPF accounts – currently 7.1 percent – is calculated on the minimum balance in the account between the fifth day of the month and the last day of the month. So you will get till July 31st interest of you close on Aug 18th. If you choose to close by Sep1st, then you will get interested till Aug 31st.

    In such a scenarion 1) Will the 2nd nominee be in a position to withdraw entire amount or will it be limited to 50% only. 2) Will it be necessary to obtain claim through court by the 2nd nominee / other heirs. 3) In such a case will the 50% amount be treated as “without nomination” and pay out restricted to Rs. One Lakh only.

      PPF interest is calculated based on the lowest available balance between 5th of the month and end of the month. If it is withdrawn at the 20th of the month, then there will be zero balance at the end of the month. That will be considered as the lowest and no interest will be due for that month. It is better to close the PPF account at the beginning of a month.

      No.
      The legal heir needs to close the PPF account within a reasonable period (say 3 months) after the death of the PPF account holder.

        “If you are the nominee, then you don’t need the succession certification to claim the PPF amount.

        But if you are not the nominee, and the account holder’s investment limit is more the 5 lacs then you need a succession certificate to cliam the amount.”

    In case of death of PPF account holder, when the money is transferred to the nominee or legal hire; is there any tax liability (for the hier) on the amount they’ve received?

      Hi Abhilasha, Once the claim is applied with necessary supporting documents, the money will be transferred to nominee.
      There is no tax liability to nominee as PPF returns are tax free.

    Hello

    Regarding the PPF account status on death of the holder,

    1. Can the account be continued till maturity without further contributions?

    2. In case of death in 15th year of the account, can the account be continued till coming March 31st which is anyway the date of maturity?

      After death of the PPF account holder, additional deposit can’t be done. However, it can be continued with existing deposits that will fetch you interest.

      But it is riskier to continue the PPF account after the death of the account holder because a nominee can’t appoint a nominee. In case if the nominee also dies when the account is continued, the claim becomes complicated.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
