PPF: Here's how much investment of ₹2,000 per month earns you — Even 5 years’ delay can impact your total corpus
The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a government-backed savings scheme with a 15-year lock-in. A steady ₹2,000 a month can grow past ₹1 crore if you stay invested for decades. But starting late costs you: delay by five years, and you would need about ₹2,900 a month to reach a similar corpus. So begin early, even for your child.
Key Statutory Highlights
- PPF is a government-backed savings scheme launched in 1986 with a 15-year lock-in period.
- Investing ₹2,000 per month can build a corpus exceeding ₹1 crore over the long run.
- Delaying your start by five years means you would need to invest ₹2,900 per month instead.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you can, open a PPF account early at a post office or bank using the application form, photo and KYC documents, and keep your monthly contribution steady. Review your own timeline and target before assuming any final corpus.
