The EEE Status Benefits of Public Provident Fund (PPF)
The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a popular long-term savings scheme backed by the Government of India. The scheme carries a 15-year lock-in period and currently offers a guaranteed return (adjusted quarterly by the Ministry of Finance).
PPF stands out due to its Exempt-Exempt-Exempt (EEE) status: the principal invested is deductible under Sec 80C, the interest earned is completely tax-free, and the entire maturity proceeds are exempt from income tax.
