PPF Extend Rules: The extension facility in Post Office PPF allows you to extend your account for 5 years, so that you can receive interest and get regular income even after maturity.
PPF Extend Rules: Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a great and popular savings scheme, which people often choose for retirement. But do you know that after the maturity of PPF, you can also use it as a monthly income? Actually, PPF can be extended even after maturity, and through this you can get tax free income of up to Rs 24,000 every month. This is a special rule, by knowing which you can make your future even more secure.
PPF Rules: Extension facility
The maturity of Public Provident Fund (PPF) is 15 years, but even after this it can be extended. And this process can be repeated again and again. That is, you can extend it for 5 years each.
If you extend the scheme after the maturity of 15 years, then after 15 years, you will continue to get 7.1 percent annual interest (PPF Interest Rate) on the closing balance. On the other hand, if you extend it with investment, then interest on interest will be added to the scheme in the same way as before maturity.
When you extend the scheme for 5 years without investment, then you can withdraw any amount once in a year. But when you extend the account with investment, the thing to note here is that you can withdraw only up to 60 percent of the amount once in a year.
Let us now understand the facility of extension in PPF with an example.
PPF: How much fund can be created on maturity of 15 years
If you deposit maximum in PPF in every financial year till maturity i.e. for 15 years, then according to the current interest rate, a total fund of Rs 40,68,209 can be raised.
- Maximum deposit in a financial year: Rs 1.50 lakh
- Interest rate: 7.1 percent per annum
- Total deposit in 15 years: Rs 22,50,000
- Total fund after 15 years: Rs 40,68,209
PPF: How will the monthly income be created
Here you ran the scheme for 15 years and created a fund of Rs 40,68,209. Now if you extend it for 5 years without investing anything, then you will get 7.1 percent interest on the closing balance. At the same time, you can withdraw any amount at once in a year.
Now let’s assume that you have planned to withdraw only the interest money once in a year. Here you will get 7.1 percent annual interest on your closing balance. This will be Rs 2,88,843 in a year. You can withdraw this entire interest amount in one go in a year. If you divide it in 12 months, it will be Rs 24,000 per month. There will be no tax on this withdrawal. One thing is clear here that through PPF, tax free income of up to Rs 24,000 can be easily taken every month.
PPF: If you invest for 20 years
- Maximum deposit in a financial year: Rs 1.50 lakh
- Interest rate: 7.1% per annum
- Total deposit in 15 years: Rs 22,50,000
- Total deposit in 20 years: Rs 30,00,000 (1.50 lakh X 5 + Rs 22,50,000)
- Total fund after 20 years: Rs 66,58,288
How will be the monthly income after 20 years
It is clear from the above calculation that by extending the PPF account for 5 years, you can create a fund of about Rs 66.50 lakh. Now if you extend it for 5 years without investing anything, then you will get 7.1% interest on the closing balance. At the same time, you can withdraw any amount at once in a year.
Now let’s assume that you plan to withdraw only the interest money once in a year. Here you will get 7.1 percent annual interest on your closing balance. This will be Rs 4,72,738 in a year. You can withdraw this entire interest amount once in a year. If you divide it into 12 months, it will be Rs 39,395 per month. At the same time, there will be no tax on this withdrawal.
