You cannot deposit ₹1.5 lakh in both accounts; the combined annual limit is ₹1.5 lakh. Deposits exceeding this limit will not earn interest or qualify for tax benefits. While PPF interest and maturity proceeds are tax-exempt, you should ensure your total contributions across both accounts do not exceed the annual ₹1.5 lakh cap to remain compliant with government regulations.
