When to invest in PPF to get higher returns?

December 10, 2011by Basavaraj Tonagatti

Many of us have PPF account. But we fail to understand the simple tricks like when to invest in PPF to get higher returns. Today I am going to share with you one simple thing about PPF which you might not noticed during the opening of your PPF account.

Interest for a particular month is calculated on the lowest balance between the close of the fifth day and the end of the month. This accrued interest will be credited to the account at the end of each year. It means if you want to have a benefit you need to invest your monthly contribution within the fifth of every month. Else, your contributed amount will be eligible for gaining interest for the next month. Therefore, if you contribute after fifth of the month then for one month that amount will be idle.

I will show you with illustration that how you can maximize your returns by simply following the above condition of interest calculation.

Suppose Mr.X and Mr.Y opened PPF account on same day and started to contribute Rs.8,000 each month but Mr.X is contributing before 5th and Mr.Y is contributing after 5th of each month then how much difference we can see.

Mr.X’s Accumulation after 15 years.

First Year Contribution is Rs.8000 PM.

1st Month Contribution-8,000+688 (interest for 12 months) =8688

2nd month Contribution-8,000+631 (Interest for 11 months) =8631

Like this at the end of 1st year Principal is (8000*12) + (4472) =1,00,472. The same amount will be his contribution for the remaining 14 years. So, at the end of the 15th year, his accumulated amount is Rs.25,39,929.

Mr.Y’s Accumulation after 15 years.

First Year Contribution is Rs.8000 PM. (But after 5th of each month)

1st Month Contribution-8,000+630 (Interest for 11 Months) =8630

2nd Month Contribution-8,000+573 (Interest for 10 Months) =8,573

Like this at the end of 1st year Principal is (8000*12) + (3,784) =99,784. The same amount will be his contribution for the remaining 14 years. So, at the end of the 15th year his accumulated amount is Rs.25,22,536

The difference of returns between Mr.X and Mr.Y is-Rs.17,393.

But you may say, what is the time value of this difference after 15 years?

It may be your one month’s household expenses what you are paying now. How is it?

Suppose today you have some household expenses Rs.7,257 PM then the future value of that will be Rs.17,393. (Inflation-6% Tenure-15 yrs).

Therefore, what I mean to say is, with simply following your monthly contribution before the fifth of every month you can get higher returns. Hope this point may add value to your saving 🙂

    Kindly clarify:

    I opened PPF account on 30.03.2019 & deposited 1.5 Lac on the same day. And again I deposited 1.5 Lac on 03.05.2019. Will I get interest for entire 3 lacs . Is the 1.5 Lac limit for financial year or Annual difference should be 1 year??

      Dear Ravi,
      Your first deposit falls under FY 2018-19. Second deposit falls under FY 2019-20. Hence, you will be eligible for the interest on all the Rs.3 lakh.

    I have monthly installments for my ppf account(so, it comes to 12 installments for a year). If I would like to invest more, then should I invest lumpsum or increase monthly installment? We are only allowed to make 12 installments in an year.

    Consfused. Please clarify.

    Hi, does it make sense to invest maximum money possible in initial few years (let’s say 4-5 years) of PPF? I ask this because of the long compounding that will happen on money invested in initial few years. For example, money deposited in first year will be compounded over 14 years!! At 8.7% earnings, my calculations say the effect of this compounding on money deposited in 1st year would be an annualized 16-17% at maturity!! Is this true? And similarly, the money deposited in 2nd year, 3rd year and so on will have dwindling annualized returns but still healthy around 14-15% annualized rates. Wish to know your comments on this

      Dear Gursharan,
      Whether it is PPF or any other instrument, to enjoy the compounding you have to invest more and you have to wait for long term. In compounding formula, only two things are under your control i.e. N and P. Hence, maximize these two at your end.

      You should start an account and investment as early as possible. In this way you will get more benefit from compounding of interest.

    Hi Basu,
    Thanks for the wonderfully explained article.
    I have a question:
    I currently have a PPF A/C and try my best to deposit the maximum threshold every year.
    I want to maximize my investment by opening a PPF AC for my father (senior citizen with pension).
    This is just to maximize/ double the investment and not to aid to my 80C contribution.
    I know opening an AC for my father will not be any problem as he is a major. But my question is, I will be the sole contributor in the new AC. Can I do that to maximize my investment?

    Thanks,

      S-For tax part, there is no difference. However, if you deposited between April 1-5th than May 1-5, then you lost one month interest on your money.

    Sir i opened an PPf account with 70000 by 2012 for tax exemption but dint know i have to pay every year. in 2014 i knew it and started paying 500 every year. so will there be any problem at the time of maturity? i think my account is still active as i get interest every year. may be that interest is considered as a deposit? if so then i dont want to put 500 every year right? and also after 15 yrs ill get the 70000 with the interest but what about the 500 that i pay every year? can i take out that also or i have to wait for 15yrs from date of deposit of the 500? hope my query is clear:) and cant we withdraw the interest alone from PPF (like in FD)??

      Guru-There is no problem at maturity due to high and low payment in PPF. You are again wrong, crediting interest not means your account is active. It will be active only when you deposit the minimum amount. Regarding withdrawal of Rs.70,000, refer my earlier post “PPF-Loan and Withdrawal“.

    Just want to know one thing – I generally make two deposits in PPF – 1Lakh in Dec month (10th Dec) and 50,000/- in Mar (10th Mar)

    Que 1: How is the interest calculated in my case?
    Que 2: Could you please show (using the calculations) the benefit that I could have received if I had deposited the entire amount of 1,50,000/- in Apr as lum sum.

      2) If you deposited the same in the month of April, then the interest will start to accrue from April month itself (if you deposited within 5th, otherwise from May).
      I explained how the interest is calcualted. Also, cleared your doubts. Hope this much is enough.

    Thanks for clearing my myth, I recently opened a PPF account with ICICI bank and for year 2014-15 i invested 150000, however as i was not aware of the calculation i kept the money in the savings account and deposited only in the month of march. This is am eye opener for me for the remaining years Thanks

    I have one more query, work in a private company and my epf contribution gets deducted, the company also gives the facility to invest in NPS under section 80 CD(not sure if i wrote the correct section), normally which i was told the max from this route i can invest upto 10% of my basic and get a tax benefit over and above 80c. As per the new tax law does it mean i can invest 10% of basic +50000 in nps which mean i can get more benefits fro 80 CD, please let me know if this is correct and does this make sense. I fall under the 30% slab.

    q2. if July 31,2014 is start date means, end date of ppf account is July 31,2029 but actual end date is March 31, 2030 some article said. if it is true means , can i invest in between July 31,2029 and March 31,2030 without using extending five year rule(Note:Actual end date March 31, 2030 but July 31,2029 itself fifteen years going to complete right).But it exceeds more than 15 years

    q3. I have opened account only August 31, 2014. How many installment can i use in the financial year 2014-2015(from July 31,2014-March 31,2014).

      Harish-Your start date is 31st July 2014. Yes you can invest till 31st March 20130 as investment in PPF is fixed on financial year base rather than your account start date. Typically PPF is more than 15 years product rather than theoretical way of saying 15 years product. You can use maximum 12 installments, irrespective of when you opened. Because as I said earlier investment will be considered based on financial year. Regarding interest calculation, yes you get it but go through above post to understand how interest is calculated in PPF.

        Thanks a lot ,for interest calculation , If i understood correct means
        My monthly contribution rs.1500

        for first month interest calculation : 1500 * 8.7/100 = 130 .5(12 month interest) but i have started on account july 31,2014 . So from july 31,2014 to March 31,2015(current financial year) totally 8 month .
        then 1500 * 8.7/100 = 130 .5/12 * 8 = Rs.87(8 month interest) interest only first month investment.
        and remaining month interest calculated by reducing one,two,three,etc from 8 month

        ie.2nd month 130 .5/12 * 7 = 76.12(7month interest)
        3rd month 130 .5/12 * 6 = 65.25(6month interest)

    I need some clarification interest calculation on PPF
    My monthly contribution is rs.1000 ie. yearly 12000 then interest rate as 8.7% for current financial year.
    interest = 12000 * 8 .7 /100 = 1044 (First year completion) ie 1044 / 12 = 87 per month
    Then Second year starting .Principle amount now is = first year contribution + interest that is = 12000 + 1044 = 13044

    In second year interest calculation and third year principle:
    Third year starting principle = principle when first year completion + second year contribution + second year interest
    = 13044 + 12000 + (( 25044 * 8.7/100) /12) * 11 (interest only for 11 month that is divide by 12 get one month interest then multiply by 11 for 11 month interest)
    = 25044 + 1997 = 27222.
    Am i correct or wrong ?, In the above article interest is reduced year by year if the person paying amount before date of 5th of the month. or did i understand i wrong way?

      Harish-No it is not like that. Your first month contribution of Rs.1,000 will earn the interest for whole 12 months whereas second month installment will earn 11 month interest and the same will continue for the rest of the installments. That too if you invest every month within 5th . Now the calculation of first installment will be (Rs.1,000*8.7/100)=Rs.87 (earns 12 months interest)and second installment have interest calculation like (Rs.1,000*8.7/100)=Rs.87/12=Rs.7.25*11 months=Rs.79.75 (earns only 11 months interest) so on for the next months installments. Such accumulated interest+principal will be next year’s principal for 12 months. Rest monthly contribution calculation will continue as said above. So it is not plain calculation, your each month interest will earn according to the month wise.

          Hi basu,
          Q1.
          In above reply you said first year accumulated interest will be added to the second year principle for 12 month
          which means for example if my first year accumulated interest is rs.1000 then In second year each month principle is (firstyear accumulated interest/12)+second year monthly contribution = (1000/12) + 1000(i considered my second year monthly contribution)

          Q2. ppf minimum deposit should be per month is 500 that is rs.6000 per year , max is rs.8333 per month (because yearly limit is rs.10000). what my question is, can i deposit first month rs.6000 then i stop deposit for one year
          then second year rs.6000 then stop for one year? now my assumption is 6000/12 = 500 which satisfy the minimum deposit per month but i paid as lump sum in every year starting as 6000. is this possible or will it affect any interest rate or any terms and condition violation of ppf scheme? or is it mandatory to pay all the month instead lump amount

            Harish-Why so confusing for you. Separate the first year accumulated principal+interest. This amount will earn straight away 8.7% from beginning of month to March 31. Rest of your second year contribution will follow the interest calculation method as of first year. That’s it. If you are planning for lump sum investment then it is always best to invest between 1st to 5th of April. If you do so then it will be considered for interest calculation from the April month itself. So you have an edge of earning more than monthly investment.

    Sir,
    Will it be a good idea to do a recurring deposit at the end of march in a bank and put the whole money in PPF within 5th of April?

      Pinaki-I don’t think it is good. Because first thing in all probability your return from RD will be equal (may be slight change) PPF. Second thing, return from RD will be taxable, which is not the case with PPF. Hence I still strongly feel that monthly contribution in PPF holds upper hand.

          Pinaki-If you have mandatory NPS then no need to think and contribute it. In other words, it is good in return part but less liquidity and Govt need to work on taxation part. Let us hope for better in future 🙂

    Hello Basu,

    I opened a PPF account with ICICI bank in Dec 2013. So far, I have deposited 40,000.

    Even tough I started in Dec 2013, my first year in PPF is from April 2013 isn’t? Can I move the remaining 60,000 now to my PPF account with in April 5 2014, to have 1 Lac invested in the first year and to maximize the returns? Can I see the interest credited to my account online? Or should I leave this year and be regular from April 2014 in investing before 5th of every month?

    Not sure, I I articulated my query clearly. To put it another way – ‘Should I invest 60k before the fast approaching April 5 2014?

      Prabhu-Yes your year start from 1st April 2013 and you have option to complete maximum limit of Rs.1,00,000 within 31st March 2014 (to invest another Rs.60,000). Your interest will get credited after completion of one year. I hope you got the right answer from my end. If you still confused then let me know to discuss further.

        Hello Basu,

        No. That was clear! Thanks much. I calculated that the interest for this year on investing 1L would only be around Rs 600 for the delay I did in opening the account. (Or I should have waited till April 2014 to start my account. , isn’t?).

        And you would advise one that if possible one should do a lump sum investment of 1Lac before April 5?

    Hi Basu,

    Thanks for the monthly split up.

    But this is how I usually pay PPF amt.

    For every FY, i used to wait till Feb – March month and based on my other LIC premiums which will be used to deduct under section 80C, i take the balance amount and put in PPF account to get tax benefit for full 1 lakh.

    Am trying to say that, i used to pay premium only in the FY end and not in the start of the year.

    Could you please tell is it ok or should i change my payment period/time ?

      Yuva-I think you are more concerned about taxation rather than other options of your financial goals. Please come out of dummy products like traditional LIC plans. Buy term plan and restrict your insurance buying to there itself. Invest in PPF as I mentioned above.

      Subir-Equity investments are meant for long term investments like time horizon of more than 7+ years. If you have any goals which are more than the said time frame then you can start investing monthly. If you are first time investor then better to take the help of adviser in your area otherwise you can go ahead with Direct plans which are cost effective than normal plans.

    Hi,

    I want to invest in PPF for tax saving purpose for year ending 31st March, 2014. If I invest 40,000 today. Will I get tax benefit? Plus, when will I start getting interest on this amount? From April 2014 onwards?

    Also for the next year, is it wise to invest the same amount before April 5, 2014? In that case how the interest is calculated? previous years 40,000+ current year’s 40,000?

    Please guide.

    Thanks,

      Avadhut-If you invest this month means (as it is already 13th March) your invested amount will start to fetch interest from 1st April 2014. But you can avail tax benefit in this FY as you invested prior to 31st March 2014. The best move to invest in PPF will be, if you are opting for lump sum investment then within 1st to 5th April every year. If monthly contribution then each month before 5th.
      For detailed procedure of interest calculation, you can visit this post “PPF-When to contribute to get higher return?“.

    HI Basu,

    i made a last minute descison and invested in PPF for a lumpsum of 60k on feb .. so will my intrest be low for the first year and can i make the next investment in april?

      Arun-Yes if you invested Rs.60,000 before 5th of February then you will get interest for months of February and March, otherwise only for March monthly only. Hence it is better if you plan to invest lump sum on yearly base in PPF, better to invest between 1st and 5th of April every year.

    I have two Jeevan Anand policies with sum assured of 3lacs and 2 lacs respectively (16k and 14k premium) . I am planning to paid up the 2 lacs policy and invest the 14k amount in ppf … Is it wise move … Please note that the policy was taken before 5 yrs … 11 yrs premium left.

      Ranjani-My suggestion will be to put around 40% in PPF and rest into well diversified equity mutual fund. You are ready to wait for another 15 years (by putting into PPF), so why can’t take the advantage of long term investment in equity. By doing so you can earn well and diversify your investment also.

    It seems there is an error in mentioning the 1st year Principal of Mr. X.
    Below thing is mentioned in the page:
    (8000*12)+(4465)=1,00,565
    while it should have been 1,00,465.

      But maintain regularity in investment for your long term financial goals. As it is guaranteed return, invest some percentage of your portfolio investment into this. But dont put all ur eggs in one basket. Maintain that diversification. Thanks for your comment. Hope my future posts will also make you happy.
