I hold my PPF account in a post office. Can I access it online? Else, is it possible to transfer it to a bank which provides online access?
-Vikram Mehta
Post office doesn't provide online facility for small savings scheme like Public Provident Fund. To avail it, transfer your account to a bank that provides online services. For this, you need to submit an application at the post office for transfer mentioning details of bank where you wish to transfer your PPF account. Once the application is processed, the post office will send the required documents to the bank. Once the bank receives the documents, you will be asked to submit a fresh PPF account opening form, along with your original PPF account passbook.
