Parents log bacho ke PPF account ko lekar confuse hain. Ek saal mein **₹1.5 lakh** ki limit hai, na ki per parent. Aur tax benefits sirf legal guardian ko milenge. Zyada paise daale toh interest bhi nahi aur tax break bhi nahi!
Kya hua hai?
Bachho ke liye khule Public Provident Fund (PPF) accounts ke rules aksar parents ke liye confusion create karte hain. Yeh toh sahi hai ki dono parents account mein paise daal sakte hain, par total annual contribution aur tax benefit claim karne par strict limits hain. Minor ke PPF account ke liye saal ki investment limit ₹1.5 lakh hai. Ye limit account ke liye hai, na ki kitne log contribute kar rahe hain. Aur haan, tax deduction Section 80C ke under sirf wohi parent claim kar sakta hai jo minor ka registered legal guardian hai.
Contribution Limit Ka Sach
Bahut se families ye galat samajh leti hain ki har parent child ke PPF account mein ₹1.5 lakh daal sakta hai, matlab total ₹3 lakh ka annual investment. Ye rules ke khilaaf hai. ₹1.5 lakh hi maximum hai jo ek PPF account mein ek financial year mein deposit ho sakta hai. Agar total contribution is amount se zyada ho gaya, toh excess paisa koi interest nahi kamayega aur na hi koi tax benefit milega. Simple words mein, limit se zyada daalne par financial efficiency loss ho sakti hai.
Tax Deduction Rules Ko Samjho
Section 80C ke tax benefits us individual se linked hote hain jiski income use ho rahi hai investment ke liye. Minor ke PPF account ke liye, sirf wohi parent tax deduction claim kar sakta hai jo official guardian hai. Agar dono parents contribute kar rahe hain, toh dono deduction nahi claim kar sakte. Jo parent guardian nahi hai, woh generally child ke account ke liye tax benefit claim nahi kar sakta. Yeh bhi yaad rakho ki ek individual ka total investment, uske khud ke PPF account aur child ke account ko mila kar, tax deduction ke liye ₹1.5 lakh ke threshold se cross nahi karna chahiye.
Common Galtiyon Se Bachen
Kai investors anjaane mein rules tod dete hain jab woh PPF benefits ko legal limit se zyada maximize karne ki koshish karte hain. System account aur guardian ko track karta hai, isliye ₹1.5 lakh ceiling se upar ke deposits aksar flag ho jaate hain. Limit se zyada deposit kiye gaye paise ko irregular mana jata hai aur ho sakta hai uspar government-guaranteed interest rate na mile. Isse PPF ka main purpose hi khatam ho jata hai, jo ki savings par safe aur tax-efficient return dena hai. Families ko ensure karna chahiye ki woh family ke sabhi accounts mein total contributions ko track karein taaki legal boundaries ke andar rahein.
Investors Ko Kya Dekhna Chahiye?
Child ke PPF account ko manage karte waqt, sabse important hai annual ₹1.5 lakh limit ke andar rehna. Parents ko aapas mein coordinate karna chahiye taaki total investment, personal accounts aur child ke account ko mila kar, threshold ko cross na kare. Parents ko yeh bhi verify karna chahiye ki kaun legal guardian registered hai taaki Section 80C deductions accurately claim ho sakein. Agar koi family child ke liye ₹1.5 lakh se zyada invest karna chahti hai, toh unhe doosre investment options dekhne chahiye jo PPF contribution constraints ke under nahi aate, bajaye ki existing PPF account mein zyada paise bharna.
