Deduction of PPF


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
You can indeed claim a deduction under Section 80C for contributions made to your major son's Public Provident Fund (PPF) account. The law specifies 'any child' and does not distinguish based on age. Therefore, as the depositor, you remain eligible for the tax deduction regardless of your son's majority status.

Pl advise. Can I deposit and deduction of PPF in my major son account.
Regards

13 February 2020 No. You won't be receiving deduction of this contribution because your son is major.

13 February 2020 The words used in the Act [section 80C(4) ] is "Any child of such individual" The Act is silent on the issue of majority or minority of child.
