a person can have only one PPF accounts in his own name
Although legally - you cannot have 2 PPF Accounts but as PPF Account can now be opened in Banks as well as Post Office - there arises a case of having 2 PPF Accounts...
Practically ti is possibel to have 2 PPF Accounts as no-one checks but legally not allowed... moreover you would able to claim deduction u/s 80C of only Rs. 1 Lakh in total irrespective of the number of accounts.. so your only benefit would be higher interest on PPF Account
