How does double investment happen?

Under Section 80C of Income Tax in PPF, tax exemption is available on investment up to Rs 1.5 lakh. The maximum investment limit in PPF is Rs 1.5 lakh. You can deposit money 12 times in a year. But, here’s a thing for married investors. If you open PPF in the name of your partner, then you can also double the investment in one financial year and can also take advantage of interest on both the accounts.

These benefits are available on investment in PPF

Experts say that by opening a PPF account in the name of his life partner, the investor can invest in PPF instead of his other investment option. So he will have two options. The first can deposit up to 1.5 lakh rupees in his account. At the same time, in the name of another partner, one can deposit Rs 1.5 lakh in a financial year. Different interest will be available on these two accounts. At the same time, tax exemption of up to Rs 1.5 lakh can be taken on any one account. In such a situation, your PPF investment limit will double to Rs 3 lakh. Being in the EEE category, the investor will also get the benefit of tax exemption on the interest and maturity amount of PPF.Also Read: Punjab government gave good news to fruit and vegetable vendors, exemption in market fee for so many months
