For investing in PPF u need to open a PPF account with State bank of India the maximum amount that u can deposit in a year is Rs. 70,000 and this will be exempt u/s 80c fo the Income tax act, 1961.

For return u will need to enquire at the bank while opening the account.

Withdrawl of this amount at subsequent period is completely exempt.
