Resected members, Can you please advice on the combined amount I can deposit every year in (PPF account for myself + PPF account for my minor child)?
Requesting you to cite exact sentence(s) from PPF act in support. The combined limit is 1.5L as per some online resources, but this was not clear to me by looking at the act. The definition of subscriber was ambiguous.
