FAQs
PPF interest is compounded on an annual basis on the formula mentioned below:
F = P [ ( { ( 1 + i ) ^ n } – 1 ) / i ]
Here,
F = Maturity of the PPF
P = Annual installments
n = Total number of years
i = Rate of interest / 100
For example, if you make annual payments of Rs. 1,00,000 to your PPF investment for 20 years at 7.1%.
Hence,
F = 100000 [ ( { ( 1 + 0.071 ) ^ 20 } – 1 ) / 0.071 ]
Then your maturity proceeds will be ₹44,38,859.00 at the end of 20 years.
