Options for Public Provident Fund Accounts After 15-Year Maturity Period
Public Provident Fund (PPF) accounts mature after 15 years from the financial year of opening, allowing holders to withdraw the full balance with interest, extend the account in five-year blocks, or leave the funds invested without new deposits. If the maturity date falls on a holiday or withdrawal is delayed, the account continues to earn interest, but fresh contributions require submitting a form within one year. Extensions can be renewed multiple times, offering flexibility based on individual financial needs.
