To more clarify, the payment (i.e.deposit) into PPF account is exempted up to Rs. 70000.00 only.
The interest income on PPF deposit amount is also exempt from Income Tax.
And, if I am not wrong, the final amount got at the end of PPF account tenure is also exempt from Income Tax since it is the saving accumulated by the depositor.
