    Dear SPGUPATA, yes you can deposit in both PPF accounts and still earn interest on both accounts. Husband can invest in wife’s account even after exhausting his own limit and vice verse.

    thanks

    Even if your contribution exceeds Rs.1 lakh in a FY, the excess you deposit after Rs.1 lakh will not be considered for calculation of interest.
    It is just like depositing money without any interest.
