• Tax exemption on PPF deposits

My PPF account matured some time back which I did not renew or extend. However I had opened an account in the name of my minor son and deposits were made by me to that account. Now my son has become a major and his account has been converted into a major account. Will deposits made by me to his PPF account qualify for tax exemption u/s 80 C for me

Hi,

You can continue to claim 80C Deduction for PPF Contribution to your son's account even if he has become a Major (Provided the amount is deposited out of your taxable income and your Son is not claiming 80C Deduction for the same)

You can claim deduction u/s 80C(2)(v) read with 80C(4)(a) in respect of contribution made into the PPF Account of your son, whether he is a major or minor. It does not matter even if you claimed deposits into your own PPF Account now or earlier.
