What are the conditions / requirements for closing the PPF account during extension period of 5 years ? ( Will it be called premature closing ? )
I tried to find out on web.
Is it very strict during extension period ?
Can I show the reason as address change ( just showing electricity bill of my other flat in another city ? )
Another reason is education of family members ( Do I need to submit the admission/fee receipt of college ) ?
Can I give reason as "I want to start my business / startup" ?
