What is the procedure for extension of PPF for another 5 years? Is it automatic?

[Praveen]

For extension of the PPF account for another 5 year, you need to fill extension form available in the bank. Please check with the other branches of the SBI, your current branch may be not aware about this.

Till what points we can renew the PPF account? (Means 15 years then 20 years then 25 years)
Or is there any limit?

[Harish Rawat]

There is no limit. This facility can be availed for period of 5 years on the expiry of 20th years and yet another 5 years on the expiry of 25 years and so on.
