By saving ₹1900 every month in PPF, a fund of ₹1 crore can be created for the child. Let us understand in how many years you can create a fund of Rs 1 crore from PPF and how much you will have to invest for this.
New Delhi: Every parent dreams that their child’s future should be completely financially secure. If you also want to create a big fund for your child’s education, marriage or retirement, then Public Provident Fund is a great and safe option. The magic of power of compounding in PPF is such that you can create a fund of ₹ 1 crore for your child with a small savings of just ₹ 1900 per month.
Let us understand from the calculations:
1. If you deposit ₹ 1900 every month for 50 years as soon as the child is born, then a fund of Rs 1 crore will be created:
* Monthly investment: ₹ 1900 (saving only ₹ 63 per day)
* Annual investment: ₹22,800
* Interest rate: 7.1% per annum (existing rate decided by the government)
* Investment Period: Approximately 50 years (after maturity of 15 years the account has to be grown in blocks of 5-5 years)
* Total Deposit Amount: In 50 years you will deposit a total of ₹ 11,62,800.
