09 August 2010 Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (3) a subscriber may, on the expiry of 15 years from the end of the year in which the initial subscription was made but before the expiry of one year thereafter, may exercise an option with the Accounts Office in Form H, or as near thereto as possible, that he would continue to subscribe for a further block period of 5 years according to the limits of subscription specified in paragraph 3.

IN THIS PROCESS THERE WILL BE NOTHING TAXABLE

09 August 2010 Yes. The PPF account can be extended even after the expiry of 15 years. But the extension is available in a pack of 5 years. It can even be extended after the expiry of such pack of 5 years for another pack of 5 years..

The tax effect will remain the same....
