Public Provident Fund Account, i.e. PPF account, i.e. Public Provident Fund Account, i.e. Lok Bhavishya Nidhi Account - every employed person has heard this name at some time or the other, and many Indians have also opened an account under the PPF scheme. PPF Account is the most popular among the small savings schemes run by the Central Government to provide an opportunity to save for the future and earn completely tax-free interest, and if regular investment is made in a disciplined manner, then it can make you a millionaire on retirement. NDTV readers/users have already been informed that with the help of a PPF account, ₹2.27 crores can be collected in 35 years, and in 25 years a PPF account can make any investor a millionaire.

Where and how to open a PPF account...?

First of all, let us know that in the very popular savings scheme PPF, any Indian can open an account by going to any post office or any branch of any bank, in which the account holder has to deposit a minimum of ₹500 and a maximum of ₹1,50,000 during every financial year (1 April to 31 March).

There is no tax on the EEE category scheme PPF.

It will be good to know important and beneficial things about PPF, so remember, the amount deposited in the PPF account every year is exempted from income tax, the interest you get every year in this account is also not taxable, and the entire amount received at the time of maturity is also not subject to income tax.

How will a PPF account make you a millionaire in 25 years...

Now let us tell you how to arrange a pension of about ₹61000 every month on retirement. If you are 35 years old, and you open a PPF account at the beginning of this financial year and deposit ₹1,50,000, then on March 31 next year, ₹10,650 will be added to your PPF account as interest, because at present the Narendra Modi government at the Center is paying interest at the rate of 7.1 percent on the amount invested in PPF. Due to this interest, on the very first day of the next financial year, i.e. April 1, 2025, a balance of ₹1,60,650 will appear in your PPF account, which will become ₹3,10,650 if you deposit ₹1,50,000 before April 5 in the new financial year. After this, on March 31, 2026, ₹22,056 will be generated as interest at the same rate, and the balance will become ₹3,32,706. Now you, the PPF investor, have to deposit ₹1,50,000 in your PPF account every year between 1st and 5th April. In this way, with the help of disciplined investment, at the time of maturity, i.e. after 15 years, you will see ₹40,68,209 in your PPF account, out of which ₹18,18,209 will be the interest amount, and your original investment would have been ₹22,50,000.

If you opened a PPF account at the age of 35, then at the time of this maturity you will be 50 years old, but there are still 10 years left for retirement. As per the rules related to the PPF account, you can extend your PPF account in blocks of 5 years by applying before maturity. The extension is available for five years each can be availed unlimited times. Now at the age of 50, you should extend your account and maintain the annual routine of investing. Now your PPF account will be on the verge of maturing when you are 55 years old. At that time, the amount deposited in the PPF account will be ₹66,58,288, out of which ₹36,58,288 will be in the form of interest, and your investment will be ₹30,00,000.

Now extend the PPF account once again, and keep investing every year as before, because your journey of becoming a millionaire and getting a monthly pension of ₹61000 will start now. This time after five years, when your PPF account will mature, you will be 60 years old, and the total amount in your account will have crossed the figure of one crore. At that time, a total of ₹1,03,08,014 will be deposited in your PPF account, in which your investment would have been ₹37,50,000 and the government has added ₹65,58,015 to your account as interest.

How will you arrange for a monthly pension of ₹60989 from a PPF account...?

Now read another rule related to the extension of the PPF account. Whenever you extend the PPF account, you have two options. One - the investment will continue after the extension. Two - the investment will not be made after the extension. Till now you have extended your account twice, but you did not stop investing, so the amount kept growing very fast. But now after retirement, investing will not be easy and convenient, so the time has come to get a pension without making new investments.

You will get interest of ₹7,31,869 without making a new investment in the PPF account...

So, now you will not make any new investment this year but will continue the account. So, this time the accumulated deposit will also remain ₹1,03,08,014, and the interest on it at the end of the year will be ₹7,31,869. Here we are assuming that the interest rate which is today will remain the same. Open a PPF account, get a tax-free monthly pension of ₹61000 on retirement.
