Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether you can claim the 80C deduction for PPF investments even if you make a premature withdrawal. The consensus is that you can claim the deduction for the amount invested in the relevant financial year, provided you have proof. However, it's important to note that premature withdrawals from PPF are subject to specific rules and may impact future account balances, though the withdrawal itself is not taxed as income, unlike PF.

PPF money received before five years by premature closure or withdrawal is taxed as income. you can avail the benefit of 80c for current previous year,
An account holder can withdraw prematurely, up to a maximum of 50% of the amount that is in the account at the end of the 4th year (preceding the year in which the amount is withdrawn or at the end of the preceding year, whichever is lower). Further, withdrawals can be made only once in a financial year.
Yes you can claim if you have proof for invest, but the withdrawal only allow you low value of PPf in future, so take the deduction without hesitation... premature withdrawal is taxable in PF not in PPF
