I closed my PPF account matured in Apr 2021 (Approx 3 lacs). My Son's PPF account matured in Apr 2024. He is minor as on Apr 2024. I closed his account as well (Approx 1.75 lacs). 1. Do i have any tax liability for my minor sons PPF account? as this is the second account maturing associated with my PAN number 2. Can my son open PPF account once he crosses 18 years and continue to invest and avail tax benefits as per govt rules?

Ans: 01. Interest from PPF account is not taxable, irrespective of the fact that the account is in your name or in the name of your minor son.
02. In my opinion, your son can open a new PPF account, after he becomes major & continue to avail tax benefits.
Most welcome for any further clarification.
Thanks.

I have a PPF account (with Post office) in my name opened in 2011 and I opened one in my child name in 2019 (with SBI) with myself being guardian. If I deposit 1.5 lacs in both account every year will both of them earn interest of 7.1 %? New rules says after Oct' 2024 minor PPF account will earn interest of only Post office saving bank account, then can I close my child account and get back the money as I dont want to continue that PPF. If I close minor account now will my interest be forfeited? Thank you for taking time to answer this question.

Ans: Hello;

The combined investment in a financial year in PPF accounts in your name and in the name of your minor child, but under your guardianship, should not exceed 1.5 L.

You will be levied some penalty for pre-mature closure.

Check with your bank for extent of charges regarding this point.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello;

Send a reminder notice to the banks seeking time bound implementation of the Court order.

Either they may be preparing to appeal against the lower court order or it may be just a case of procedural delay.

Await their feedback before escalating to the court.

Money

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Keep in mind the old saying to cut your cloth as per your size and act accordingly.
