PPF account gets irregular, know rules
Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a popular investment option due to a good return and tax benefits. To take full advantage of that, you should keep track of the rules attached to the PPF account. The account that is not being done can be declared irregular.
What is an irregular account?
Declaring PPF account irregular means that the post office is advised that no special rules are being followed. This may result in the closure of the account, the amount can be returned or the closure of the interest will be stopped. This is a long process to regularize the accounts again.
On opening one or more accounts

If someone accidentally opened two PPF accounts, the second irregular will be declared and no interest will be available until both accounts are available.

Annual amount of more than Rs 1.5 lakh per year
