Bank of India’s Public Provident Fund (PPF) scheme is an effective investment scheme that provides great returns and comes with tax benefits. One can invest a minimum of Rs. 500 to a maximum of Rs. 1,50,000 in one financial year.

One can calculate the returns on their PPF account by using a BOI PPF account calculator. A PPF account in the Bank of India can be opened by getting the account opening form, nomination form, and pay-in-slip. All the mentioned forms have to be submitted along with other documents required by the bank.

How PPF Investment Works?

A public provident fund (PPF) account is a method of investment that offers income tax deduction u/s 80C for the invested amount (subject to a limit of Rs 1.5 lakh a year). The interest earned is exempt from tax and there is no tax on the amount received on maturity of the account either. Owing to the tax benefits offered, many open PPF accounts with their bank/post office to build a sizable corpus.

PPF accounts have a mandatory lock-in period of 15 years. Upon maturity, the investor has the option of taking any one of the following steps:

1) Withdraw the proceeds and close the account.

2) Continue the account for a period of five years.
