How is interest on PPF calculated?
As mentioned above, PPF interest is calculated on monthly basis and is added to your balance at the end of financial year (31st March).
Let us understand interest calculation with example:
Deposits on or before 5th day of Month
If you make Rs. 2000 deposit in the month of April (before 5th) and your current balance becomes Rs. 2000 after this deposit, below are the steps to calculate April month’s interest:
- Get monthly interest rate by dividing 7.1% / 12 = 0.5916%
- Get monthly interest using formula = monthly interest rate * balance / 100 = 0.5916% * Rs. 2000 / 100 = Rs. 11.83
- So this Rs. 11.83 is the interest for april month on your balance of Rs. 2000
- Note that interest is calculated on your balance and not of the current month’s deposit
Let’s see another example where deposit is after 5th day of month
Deposits after 5th day of Month
If you make deposit of Rs. 2000 on 10th of May and your current balance becomes Rs. 4000:
- Since you made deposit after 5th day, balance till 5th day will be considered in this case which is Rs. 2000
- So for April you already received Rs. 11.83 interest, for may month as well you will receive same Rs. 11.83 as interest since your balance on 5th day of may was Rs. 2000
- In the month of June you balance of Rs. 4000 will be considered and June month’s interest will be:
= monthly interest * balance / 100
= 0.5916% * Rs. 4000 / 100 = Rs. 23.66 - So deposits made after 5th day of month will start getting interest from next month onwards
