Loan on my PPF account?

[samir]

Hi, I would like to know the procedure to take loan on my PPF account. I have opened my account in 2007-08. When I would be eligible for loan on PPF? And what is the maximum amount I can take on my PPF investment?

The first loan you can take in the third year of opening the account i.e., in your case - your account is opened in the year 2007-08, the first loan can be taken during the year 2010-11


And what is the maximum amount I can take on my PPF investment?
The amount of loan will be restricted to 25% of the balance including interest for the year 2007-08.

Rate of interest of PPF loan is cheaper than personal loan rate of banks.
The rate of interest on the loan taken will be around 2% above the rate of interest earned on the deposits in PPF.
