Frequently asked questions

How is PPF maturity calculated?

It assumes you deposit the same amount at the start of each year and that interest is compounded annually, so the full year-start balance earns a complete year of interest: Maturity = P x ((1 + i)^n - 1) / i x (1 + i). A Rs 1,50,000 yearly deposit for 15 years at 7.1% grows to about Rs 40.68 lakh.

What are the PPF deposit limits and tenure?

You can deposit between Rs 500 and Rs 1,50,000 per financial year. The base tenure is 15 years, extendable in blocks of 5 years. The rate (currently 7.1% p.a.) is set by the government each quarter.
