    Dear Anuj, your wife can open PPF account. You may deposit your own money into her PPF but as she is not having any taxable income, the question of availing tax benefit does not arise for her.

    Yes you may claim the tax benefit for her PPF within the over alll limit of 1L Rs. for section 80C. if you are already exhausting your own 1L Rs. limit in your investments (PF, PPF, Insurance prem…….) this wife PPF thing ‘ll not save you any extra tax.

    thanks

    Ashal

    I checked the link but i want to know an un-employed person as my wife (housewife) can get the benefits of 80C for her PPF account or she would be treated as bias from 80c exemption while using her PPF account & have to pay the tax.
    Perhaps you would get my question & concern queries.
