PPF money received before five years by premature closure or withdrawal is taxed as income. you can avail the benefit of 80c for current previous year,

An account holder can withdraw prematurely, up to a maximum of 50% of the amount that is in the account at the end of the 4th year (preceding the year in which the amount is withdrawn or at the end of the preceding year, whichever is lower). Further, withdrawals can be made only once in a financial year.

Yes you can claim if you have proof for invest, but the withdrawal only allow you low value of PPf in future, so take the deduction without hesitation... premature withdrawal is taxable in PF not in PPF
