PPF scores over other tax-saving instruments because it falls in the Exempt- category. This means that investments into PPF, the returns earned on them, and the corpus withdrawn at maturity are all exempt from taxes. In the case of most other tax-saving options, you would have to pay tax at least once during these three stages

But this does not mean you are not eligible for withdrawal you PPF before 15 year. You can withdrawal your PPF anytime after a few year according to PPF account condition. Lets take an example of 45 year Rakesh, Rakesh open a PPF account 10 year ago. He now want to build a house in our village and is considering a partial withdrawal from his PPF fund. Let us see how and how much he can withdraw.

Rakesh need not wait for five more years to access his PPF funds

Rakesh can avail the partial withdrawal option offered by PPF account. Under this option, investors can make a partial withdrawal from their PPF accounts five years after they have opened their account. However, the withdrawal amount is capped at 50% of the total funds in the account at the end of the fourth year from its opening.

This means that if he save a Rs.5 lakh in the last of fourth year Rakesh can make a partial withdrawal of Rs. 2.5 lakh. The partial withdrawal is also tax-free. 

If Rakesh has finished the 15 years of lock-in, he can withdraw funds whenever he pleases

At the end of the 15-year lock-in, Raksh has three options. 

(1) He can make a complete withdrawal and close his account.

(2) He can opt for continuing his account without additional contributions. In such a situation, the corpus he has accumulated will continue earning returns. During this extension period, he can withdraw any amount, once a year.

(3) He can opt to extend his account and continue to make contributions. Such extensions come in five-year blocks, meaning he will have to continue making contributions for that period. In this option, he can make a partial withdrawal once a year, and the total withdrawal is capped at 60% of the corpus at the beginning of the extension period. 

Rakesh can also close his PPF account before the expiration of the lock-in 

Premature closures are allowed only after five years of opening the account and only for specific reasons. These conditions are life-threatening diseases (for the account holder or spouse, parents or dependent children), higher education of kids, or residential status change. In each of these situations, Girish will have to submit documents to support his claim.

The process for a full or partial withdrawal is reasonably straightforward. Investors who want to withdraw have to submit a Form C at the respective bank branch linked with their PPF account with all the relevant details.
