How does investment double?
Under Section 80C of Income Tax in PPF, tax exemption is available on investments 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 is something useful for married investors. If you open PPF in the name of your partner, you can double the investment in one financial year and can also avail interest on both 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 options. In such a situation he will have two options. First, you can deposit up to Rs 1.5 lakh in your account. At the same time, another can deposit Rs 1.5 lakh in the name of the partner in a financial year. Different interests will be available on these two accounts. At the same time, tax exemption of up to Rs 1.5 lakh can be availed on any one account. In such a situation, your PPF investment limit will double to Rs 3 lakh. Being in the E-E-E category, the investor will also benefit from tax exemption on interest and maturity amount of PPF.
