What is PPF (Public Provident Fund)?

PPF is a long-term savings scheme launched by the Government of India (Ministry of Finance) to encourage individual savings and provide retirement security. It offers guaranteed, tax-free returns with full government backing. PPF follows the EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) tax model — the investment, interest earned, and maturity amount are all completely tax-free.
