PPF Vs EPF

I am depositing regular amount in my PPF account since feb-2009. Now i have joined in a company in which EPF is applicable. Is there any requirement to close PPF account or i can also regular my PPF account?

Dear Vikas

You can continue your PPF a/c [Max duration is 15 years and extendable upto another 5 years]

Whereas, EPF is statutory payment, where you have to contribute a minimum of 12% of your "basic" salary and Employer also contributes a sum [12%]

Both are eligible for tax exemption.

PPF and EPF both are seperate things and independent of each other................
