Hi,

PPF allows investment upto 1Lakh (max) in one financial for interest calc but voluntary addition of amount is not restricted to 1lakh. So does this mean that the amount added >1Lakh will be used as base/balance amount for next yr calc?

Eg. In 2012 invested 2 Lakh in PPF. So interest will be calc for 1Lakh per say 8.8%. So in 2013 the balance amount in PPF will be 208800 (2Lakh + 8800Rs interest)  and interest of 18374Rs (8.8% of 208800) will be credited for 2013?

Thanks
