On maturity of the PPF account, withdraw the amount you deposited in it and the interest received on it. This is the first option. In case of account closure, your entire money will be transferred to your account. The special thing is that the money and interest received on maturity will be completely tax-free. Also, you will not have to pay any tax on the number of years you have invested.

2. Invest in PPF even after 15 years
The second advantage or option is that you can extend your account further on maturity. Account extension can be taken in the tenure of 5-5 years.
