The specialty of this scheme is that your investment in it is completely safe. It is not affected by the ups and downs of the market. These interest rates are decided by the government, which are reviewed on a quarterly basis. At present, 7.1 percent interest is being received annually on the PPF scheme in the post office.

You can open a Public Provident Fund (PPF) account at a post office or a bank branch. This account can be opened with just Rs.500. In this, up to Rs 1.50 lakh can be deposited annually. The maturity of this account is 15 years. But after maturity it can be extended further in the bracket of 5-5 years.

If you deposit Rs 12,500 every month in a PPF account and maintain it for 15 years, you will get a total of Rs 40.68 lakh on maturity. Your total investment in this will be Rs 22.50 lakh, while Rs 18.18 lakh will be your interest income. This calculation has been done assuming an interest rate of 7.1 per cent per annum for the next 15 years. The amount received on maturity can change if the interest rate changes. The interest earned in PPF is compounded.
