Respected Sir,

Earlier HUF was eligible to open PPF account, i have one query for PPF of HUF

KARTA of HUF died in feb 2007 and as we were paying ppf in the month of march, as because of death of KARTA we have not paid ppf in the month of March i.e.( FY 2006-07) and made application for refund as KARTA was no more but due to certain reasons we could not get the amount.

Now in the year of 2011, the rule came out stating that now HUF cannot open account in their name.But now bank manager is telling due to certain RBI norms int upto 2006 is only payable not upto 2011, there is a int loss of Rs. 200000 which is big amount for me.

So please help me out whether such rules exists or not. In the bank system entire amount is shown not till 2006. Please help me out which link or reference that can be given to Bank manager and he agrees for the same.

Thank you in advance.
