How PPF Works

Public Provident Fund is a government-backed savings scheme with a 15-year lock-in period. It offers guaranteed, tax-free returns with sovereign guarantee.

Key Benefits

"Tax deduction under 80C, tax-free interest, loan facility after 3rd year, partial withdrawal after 7th year."

The Formula

A = P × ((1 + r)n - 1)r × (1 + r)
₹ 0 from ₹ 1,50,000/yr @ 7.1% for 15 yrs

Where: A = Maturity, P = Yearly Deposit (₹ 1,50,000), r = Rate (7.1%), n = Years (15).
