Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around claiming tax deductions for Public Provident Fund (PPF) contributions. Contributions made during a financial year are eligible for deduction in that assessment year. Crucially, even after the initial 15-year maturity period, you can continue to claim deductions on deposits made into an extended PPF account, provided you maintain it and deposit the minimum annual amount of Rs 500.
PPF contribution can be claimed as deduction for the amount that has been contributed during the relevant financial year pertaining to the assessment year
Thank u soo much sir... Income tax has nothing to do with the year in which it got matured... if i invest for 15 years but withdraw my amount from ppf account after 20 year... inbetween 5yrs i did not invest any single penny then deduction can't be claimed..?
