Dear All,
If you are thinking of Retirement Planning Investment then look at this PPF option (Public Provident Fund) & understand why I am saying it

Advantage -
1.PPF is 15 years account.One must deposit every year for a minimum of 15 years.You can deposit minimum of 500 per year to maximum of 150000 in it.( If you think even 500 to be high at one time you can also deposits 42 per month)

2.The amount invested in PPF is eligible for deduction under Income Tax (sec.80C)

3.The interest rate in PPF is 8.1% per annum (I think far better than Fixed Deposit option)

4.The entire interest earned is exempt from Income Tax (Interest on FD is taxable)

5.No court of law in India has the power to order attachment of balance in PPF account(Good if bad day fails on someone)

6.You can get loan from bank on PPF balance .

7.Very much secure than mutual fund or SIP option ( If you are risk adverse)

8.if you are thinking fund will be block for 15 years then you can withdraw from PPF starting from seventh year.
Also govt has allowed premature closure of for reasons like treatment of serious ailments or life threating disease or for higher education of minor .

8.I suggest immediately after reading this post please go & get PPF account opened .WHY so early .one more advantage is that PPF account follows the fiscal year so if you open account before 31st March one year over on31st march & only 14 years will be left..

10/03/2016

The CBDT has issued an Office Memorandum dated 07.03.2016 stating that in view of the large volume of pending refunds which are subject to proceedings u/s 245 and the timeline of 30 days for responding to the notice allowed to the assessee and the same time period allowed to the assessing officer to confirm/ correct the demand, it is taking too long for the demand to be verified and the refunds to be issued, leading to rise of grievances. With a view to clear the pendency of refunds which are subject to verification under section 245, the CBDT has been decided that the timeline of 30 days for the assessee and the assessing officer specified in the O.M. dated 29.01.2016 may be reduced to 15 days with regard to the notices under section 245 to be issued in the balance period of the current financial year. This is a one-time measure to clear the backlog of refunds and accordingly the reduced timeline of 15 days shall be valid only till 31.03.2016
