If i don’t take any money 7th to 10th year
If i don’t take any money 7th to 10th year
In that case you may withdraw Rs 711309/-, in the 11th year. Which was 50% of the minimum amount you had in your account between 8th and 10th year.
If you withdraw anything between 7th and 10th year, permissible withdrawal in the 11th year will be much lower.

Why is the PPF calculation shown at 7.6% interest rate ?
as per the schedule shown only 42 L. What about 46 L after 15 years.
My question is same as Mr. Ramamurthy asked, as per the schedule shown only 42 L. What about 46 L after 15 years ???
I think 46 Lakhs has been arrived at after adopting interest rate at 8% yearly prevailing then. Hence 42 Lakhs is shown by adopting annual interest yield at 7.60%. It is also said that Govt.revises the interest rate periodically on PPF deposit by notification. Hence, the difference in the maturity amount.
what happens if the party dies say on 5th yr /before term gets over.
Is it opened only to salary class only or others could also avail the option please.?

Suppose from my salary a certain amount is getting deducted for PF and after some time I left my job(lets say for 1 year) and again join a new job after 1 year. So for that 1 year gap no amount was deposited in PF account. So my question is : what ever amount has been deposited in PF account before that year gap will that 8% of interest be calculated to the amount ?
N.B : I did not withdraw a single rupee from the PF account ever.
Excellent information & most beneficial for future living life !!
If any mishap happened with account holder before maturity of the account. What amount can be received to the Nominee, entire maturity amount or only deposited amount with interest. Please confirm.
I THINK HE WILL GET ONLY DEPOSIT AMOUNT WITH INTEREST EARNED. (NOT SURE) NO ANY OTHER FUND WILL GOT IN THAT CASE. ITS JUST LIKE A FDR/TDR OR RECURRING DEPOSIT SCHEME.
any mishap happened with account holder before maturity of the account. What amount can be received to the Nominee, entire maturity amount or only deposited amount with interest. Please confirm.
I had extension for 5 years in 2016. Can I extend my account for another 5 years in 2021.
If I invest randomly many like 1 lac or 0.5 lac in one year that too in different months like January month, August months then how much interest I will get at maturity.
Same amount should be deposited every time or any amount within 1.5lakh can be accepted?
Keeping in view as to how much you can invest in a year, you will have to fix the amount to be deposited monthly. You can, however, reduce or increase the monthly deposit, subject to the maximum deposit of Rs.1.5 lakh/year.
Anything between 500 to150000
The maximum amount is Rs.1.5 lacs and the minimum amount is Rs.500 per annum. The entire amount per annum has to be paid in a maximum of 12 installments only or can be paid off in 1 installment too.

Can I withdraw the amounts in full in a time gap of 4-5 years. If so any penalty?
I m 45 yrs old. Can I invest in ppf. Can I invest rd. 500/ month.
Sir,
PPF scheme is an exclusive scheme, it is separate from the PF that is being operated by your company and the money is deposited with the PF trust. So even if you are getting deducted for Rs.48k per annum, you still can deposit Rs.15 Lacs per annum in PPF account as the 2 accounts are separate.
It is compulsory to deposit amount in PPF account every year, you have a flexibility of depositing Rs.500 to Rs.1.5 lacs every year. So in case of any financial difficulty, you may reduce your deposit amount.
Hope that calrifies
is there any age limit for investing in PPF Account. or anybody can anytime open an account.
