    PPF is best (even ignoring the section 80C tax benefit). The tax-free interest of 8% from PPF is much better than 6.25% taxable interest from RD.
    Everyone has a scheme of getting rich.. Which never works.

    On contrary if you count 80c tax benefit a person paying tax at 10% gets interest of 18%.8000 on 1 lakh investment plus 10000 rs saved as tax total 18000 on 1 lakh.Plus in long term compounding powers multuply returns with tax free return.

    But as said RD is different and shouldnt be compared with ppf.

    RD is done with 2-3 years horizon ad ppf is very long investment.
