I have two PPF account one for myself and one for my wife. I maintain both the accounts as my wife is not working. Due to some personal reasons, I need money, so looking to take loan from my existing PPF accounts. I have just checked and found out that since last two years, I have not made minimum investment in my wife’s PPF account. Please guide me - Can one get loan or withdraw money from those accounts to which regular subscriptions haven't been made every year?
No, because a subscriber who has not maintained his subscriptions in the account as per Rule 3 of the Scheme and has defaulted on his subscriptions in any year, will not be eligible either for a loan or for a partial withdrawal from the account. This will be allowed only if the person pays the subscription arrears along with the default fee.
Can you please elaborate - What is rule 3 of the scheme?Quote:
