Public Provident Fund (PPF), introduced in India in 1968 with the objective to mobilize small savings in the form of an investment, coupled with a return on it. It still remains a favourite savings avenue for many investors as the returns are tax free.It can also be called a savings-cum-tax savings investment vehicle that enables one to build a retirement corpus while saving on annual Taxes. Therefore, anyone looking for a safe investment option to save taxes and earn guaranteed returns should open a PPF account.

Do you have any questions about tax or finance you need help with?
The interest on PPF is compounded annually. The formula for this is: F = P[({(1+i)^n}-1)/i] Here, F = Maturity proceeds of the PPF P = Annual installments n = Number of years i = Rate of interest/100
Section 80-C provides PPF with EEE benefit (Exempt, Exempt, Exempt). This means that an investment up to Rs. 1.5 lakhs annually, the returns you earn and the corpus when the fund matures are all exempted from taxation. Now what can compare to this? Your answer is ELSS. Though ELSS has the lowest lock-in period, you can opt for this as a long-term investment (< 5 years). The longer you invest, more tax you will save not to mention earn Inflation-beating returns.
*Best funds based on 5 year performance.
