How does the Public Provident Fund work?

The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a government-backed savings scheme in India offering guaranteed, tax-free returns. It has a minimum lock-in period of 15 years and allows annual deposits between ₹500 and ₹1,50,000. Interest is compounded annually and the maturity proceeds are entirely exempt from income tax under Section 80C.

PPF is an EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) instrument — your contribution qualifies for tax deduction under Section 80C, the interest earned is tax-free, and the maturity amount is also tax-free. This makes PPF one of the most tax-efficient long-term savings instruments available to Indian residents.

This calculator shows you the maturity value of your PPF account based on your annual contribution and remaining tenure. The year-by-year breakdown helps you visualise how compounding grows your balance over time, and the effective yield shows you the real annualised return on your total deposits.
