The article is very informative. However the interest calculation mentioned has raised a question. Is the PPF interest calculated on the 31st of March every year or some specified date? If it is so how is it calculated? Say I invest 20000 in it at the beginning of the year (i.e. 1st of April). Would it be the same if I invested 10000 at the beginnign of the year and 10000 on say Nov 30th making the deposits for the year a total of 20000 as in the previous case?

The interest on PPF is calulated on monthly product with the minimum balance between 6 th and last day of each month. So if you want to earn maximum interest deposit money before 5 th April every year or before 5 th atlaest in any month if depositing in instalments.
