Public Provident Fund (PPF): PPF is a government-backed, Debt oriented scheme designed to encourage long-term savings among   Indian citizens. It offers a fixed interest rate and tax benefits, making it a preferred choice for conservative investors. Features, and Operation: Any INDIAN CITIZEN can invest in PPF. A PPF account can be opened with either a Post Office or with any nationalised bank. I suggest to open your PPF account in a reputed, and solvent Private Bank. My choice is HDFC, ICICI, or AXIS BANK.

PPF comes with a lock-in period of 15 years, promoting disciplined, long-term savings. Hence, you need an emergency f...
