20 August 2010 I wish to open PPF account in my 2 children's name (both minors) with a bank. SBI.
My query is:
1) Can I open 2 PPF accounts - one each in my child's name?

2) If yes, can I contribute towards the PPF accounts of my children out of my 'HUF account' (where I am the Karta) and avail benefits of section 80C deduction for my HUF ITR filing? Please also let me know what is the amount of contribution I can make to avail maximum tax benefit.

20 August 2010 1) Yes you can
2) No you can not claim 80Deduction in HUF A/c but you can claim it in your ITR if you pay the contribution from your Account.
Maximum Limit Rs 70000/- p.a. In PPF.

20 August 2010 1. Yes
2. No deduction will be available to the HUF.

20 August 2010 No ppf amount can not be deposited from huf account
