PPF for minor

2599 views 5 replies

 

I have a query for opening PPF account for son (minor). 

- I am having a PPF account, deposits 70000 PA and enjoying tax benefit
- My wife (Housewife) also have a PPF account; deposits 70000 PA and not concerned about tax benefit
- We have a son for whom I am interested in opening PPF account and not concerned about tax benefit

Is it possible to open a PPF account for minor son where I am a guardian and deposit 70000 PA in addition to my PPF account?

I am not interested in enjoying tax exemption for my son's tax benefits.

YES YOU CAN DO SO...

1. your income is taxable so u r depositing 70k in PPF and availing exemption ........great

2. Spouse income from what source for such 70000???????????? if there is no such source it would get added to your taxable income .............. file nil returns of her to establish the income and thereafter deducutions.

3. absolutely no bar to open the minor PPF a/c but remember that 70000 deposited to minor ppf a/c will get clubbed in your taxable income every year ...................
