What is the maximum PPF deposit?
₹1,50,000 in a financial year, in one go or in instalments. The minimum is ₹500.
When should I deposit in PPF?
Before the 5th of the month, and ideally before 5 April, so the deposit earns interest for the whole year.
Is PPF interest taxable?
No. PPF is tax-free at every stage: deposits qualify for 80C in the old regime, and the interest and maturity are exempt.
Is it free, and is what I type sent anywhere?
Yes, it is free, with no sign-up. Everything is worked out inside your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server.
