Quick Summary
Max. for five years it gets renewed. Contact the branch and get its status.

As per the PPF scheme rules, 2019, a PPF account holder has three alternatives once the account matures:
a) Close the account and withdraw entire proceeds
b) Extend the account without fresh deposits
In case you do not inform the bank or post office about your preference after 15 years, this is the default option that becomes applicable to your PPF account.
c) Extend the account with fresh deposits
you need to inform the bank (or Post office) of this choice as in absence of intimation from you, it will be treated as PPF extension without contribution.

Yes, that is altogether different aspect. You cannot rewew it automatically after two terms.
2 terms of renewal have crossed & i cant renew it any more no. so no do i have to close it or can safely continue holding it without closing or fear of it getting transferred to govt?
Better close it, or withdraw some amount to keep it operative. Rest the postmaster will guide its status.
A PPF account matures after 15 years from the end of the financial year in which the first subscripttion was made. After maturity, you have three options:
