I want to open four PPF accounts - one for self, one on wife, one for minor daughter and last one for my minor son. Is it feasible to open forur PPF accounts in one bank or I need to open them in different banks. Please also tell me if there is any other restrictions attached to it?

You need following documents to open a new PPF account -
1.A photograph
2.Permanent Account Number (PAN)
3.If you don't have PAN, than you need to furnish an attested copy of either your ration card, voter's identity card or passport.
