	An assessee has opened a PPF account in his name and his wife's name. He has invested Rs.70,000/- in each account. Can he claim both the amounts invested, under section 80C as deductions.

overall ceiling of PPF is 70000 for self + minor child 

PPF contribution of wife is not eligible for any assessee

People... Contribution to PPF in an account standing in the name of an individual and contribution by an individual in an account standing in the name of spouse is eligible for deduction.

My question is whether over and above 70000/- can be claimed as deduction u/s 80C??? since he has deposited 70,000/- each (both in the individuals account as well as his wife's account)

Ya he claim both but total amount of investment is 100000.

Yoou can claim Rs 100000 as deduction u/s 80C. 70000 PPF and he can invest 30000 more in 80C deductions

Individual can invest  Rs.70000/- in PPF a/c during the year. this limit is under PPF and not under income tax act.PPf  deposited in name of individual himself,spouse and his /her child is eligible for deduction subject to maximam  Rs.100000/-. Howevre, 70000/- in each a/c rule has to be follow.

so, in your case both amount can be claim u/s 80c.

Thank u. 

Deduction for PPF Contribution can never ever exceed Rs. 70000/- in any case.......
It is to be given priority than sec. 80C Deduction....... i.e. if there is any other deduction other than PPF, then only it can exceed Rs. 70000/-....... but upto Rs. 100000/-.........

are people kiddin ???

Contribution to Provident Fund or Public Provident Fund. PPF provides 8% return compounded annually. Maximum limit to contribute in it is 70,000 for each year. It is a long term investment with complete withdrawal not possible till 15 years though partial withdrawal is possible after 5 years. Besides, there is employee providend fund which is deducted from the salary of the person. This is about 10% to 12% of the BASIC salary component. Recent changes are being discussed regarding reducing the instances of withdrawal from EPF especially when one changes the job. EPF has the option of full settlement on leaving the job, taking VRS, retirement after 58. It also has options of withdrawal for certain expenses related to home, marriage or medical. EPF contribution includes 12% of basic salary from employee and employer. It is distributed in ratio of 8.33:3.67 in Pension fund and Providend fund.
