This provides a higher level of safety to investment capital. The main benefit of having PPF is, that returns are not taxable under the Income-tax Act.

It is counted for Q2( July- September) Financial Year 2022- 23. That is compounded annually. Though this rate is for 2022-23 FY, The Financial Ministry set the interest rate every year and that is paid on 31st March.
