Key Points on Reviewing and Extending Your PPF Account After Maturity
Public Provident Fund (PPF) accounts require at least an annual Rs 500 contribution to remain active, with a maximum yearly limit of Rs 1.5 lakh. Reviewing the account yearly helps track contributions, interest rates, and maturity dates. After the initial 15-year term, account holders can extend the PPF in five-year blocks with fresh deposits or continue without new contributions while still earning interest. Each option has specific rules for deposits and withdrawals, allowing flexibility based on investment goals.
