PPF for NRIs

This query is : Resolved

12 March 2009 As per [MOF (DEA) Notification No GSR 585 (E) dated 25.7.2003], NRIs cant invest in PPF, provided that if a resident who subsequently becomes Non Resident Indian during the currency of the maturity period prescribed under Public Provident Fund Scheme, may continue to subscribe to the Fund till its maturity on a Non Repatriation Basis.
Query:

Does the term "maturity" above include the block of five years allowed for extention by the rules, beyond the initial stipulated period of fifteen years? This has not been clarified in the rules. Or, is it necessary to withdraw the amount already invested in PPF, after the passage of the fifteen years? Also, please site case law, if any, to support the arguement. I get to read both versions (some say extention is not allowed in such cases and some say that as the law is silent, we can continue being invested)on the internet. Kindly clarify

Thanks and Regards
