Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of a father contributing funds as a gift to his son's Public Provident Fund (PPF) account. It also clarifies tax implications, noting that interest on contributions exceeding ₹2.5 lakh per year becomes taxable, while maturity proceeds remain tax-free. The annual contribution limit for PPF is ₹150,000, and the interest earned is generally tax-exempt.

It is okay
Interest and amount received from PPF is exempted income or not
If per year contribution is more than 2.5 lacs, then interest on such PPF is taxable under normal slab rates. And maturity proceeds are not taxable

Max contribution allowed is only 150000/-

Interest is tax free
