PPF ACCOUNT BY NRIs

PPF Account by NRI?

Any Individual (whether Salaried or Self-Employed or any other category) can invest in PPF.

NRI’s are not allowed to subscribe to PPF Account. However, if someone opens a PPF Account while he is a Resident of India but subsequently becomes a NRI, he shall be allowed to continue investing in his account.  An NRI can invest up to Rs 1,00,000 per financial year in an existing account, that is, an account that he opened prior to becoming an NRI. If someone inadvertently opened an account after becoming an NRI, it is best to close it before it comes to the attention of the concerned authorities in India.

HUFs are not allowed to open PPF account.
