I agree.....Individual can invest Rs.70000/- in PPF a/c during the year. this limit is under PPF and not under income tax act
According to PPF scheme an individual can open PPF A/c in his own name or in the name of a mnor of whome he is guardian..
however, Income tax treates contribution made an individual to his own account or in the account of his spouse or any child as an eligible deduction under section 80C...
So, u can claim deduction of Rs 1,00,000/- (as restricted u/s 80cce).
