I would advise against investing all 1 lac in PPF per year unless you are ready to lock in that much of amount every year for next 15 years. If you want to invest in PPF, invest only that much which you would not need during this period because once you put it in, you wont be able to access it for 15 years.
1. you can invest any amount you like, subject to maximum 1 lakh in a financial year and maximum 12 deposits.
2. every year on 1-april, interest rate for the coming year will be announced.
3. if you invest before 5th then that amount is also considered for that month’s interest, otherwise it is counted from next month onwards.
