Quick Summary
The interest earned on your SBI Public Provident Fund (PPF) is generally exempt from income tax under Section 10(11) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. For recognised and statutory provident funds, both Section 10(11) and 10(12) apply. However, recent amendments effective from AY 2022-2023 mean that interest exceeding INR 2.5 lakh (with employer contribution) or INR 5 lakh (without employer contribution) may now be taxable.

PPF refers to Public Provident Fund. Interest earned on account of investment in Public Provident Fund is fully exempt under section 10(11) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The interest accrued on contributions to Recognized Provident Fund and Statutory Provident Fund is exempt under Section 10(11) and Section 10(12) of the Income Tax Act. But as of the Finance Act, 2021, there is a proviso stating that -

1. interest above INR 2,50,000 is taxable if employer's contribution is included or 
2. interest above INR 5,00,000 is taxable if employer's contribution is not included.

This amendment is effective from AY 2022-2023.
