You will get 3 options on maturity
At the time of maturity, you get 3 options. It is very important to understand these 3 options. First, withdraw your money after maturity. Second, even if you do not withdraw, you will continue to get interest. Third, you can give an extension for 5 years with new investment. Let’s understand how and what to do.
1. Withdraw the entire money on maturity
Withdraw the amount deposited by you and the interest on the maturity of the PPF account. In case of account closure, the entire amount will be transferred to your account. The money and interest received on maturity will be completely tax free. Apart from this, income tax exemption is available on investment up to Rs 1.5 lakh every year. You will not have to pay any tax on whatever money you have deposited during the entire tenure.
2. Increase PPF investment for 5 years
The second option is to increase the investment after maturity. The scheme gives the option of account extension in tenures of 5-5 years. However, if you want an extension for the next 5 years, then you will have to inform the bank or post office 1 year from the maturity of the PPF account. The good thing is that at the time of extension, the rule of pre-mature withdrawal does not apply and you can withdraw money anytime.
3. Increase the scheme even after maturity without investment
The third option in PPF account, even if you do not choose both the above options, the account will continue after maturity. There will be no need for new investment in this. Maturity will automatically increase for 5 years. But, the biggest advantage will be that you will keep getting interest on the deposited amount during this entire period. After this, after completion of 5 years, it can be extended again in the same way.
Where can you open a PPF account?
PPF account can be opened in any government or private bank. Apart from this, you can also open an account in any post office branch of your city. There is also an option to open an account for a minor. However, the holding of parents on behalf of the minor remains for 18 years. According to the rules of the Finance Ministry, a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) cannot open a PPF account.
How will ₹5000 become 26.63 lakh rupees?
Currently 7.1% interest is being given in Public Provident Fund. Interest is calculated annually. But, it is decided on quarterly basis. There has been no change in its interest rates for a long time. Let us assume that if you invest at the same interest rate for 15 or 20 years, then a large corpus will be created at different amounts. You can see the calculation below.
After 20 years, this calculation will change like this. Because, the magic of interest on interest will continue and your money will keep growing.
