PPF Rules: How to Revive Your Discontinued PPF Account

Public Provident Funds are considered among the best long-term saving instruments in India. To start your savings in PPF, you just need to open a PPF account with the nearest post office or a bank with a sum as low as Rs 500. A discontinued PPF account cannot be closed before its maturity period of 15 years but if you want to revive it, the process is very simple. The discontinued PPF account can easily be revived by writing an application for the revival to the bank or post office where it was opened. After completing the formalities, your discontinued PPF account will be activated at the earliest.
