Query on PPF Interest
Hi CAs,
I'm filing ITR-2 online for AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26) under the new tax regime.
I have a PPF account and every year interest is credited on 31st March. I know that PPF interest is exempt from tax, but while filing ITR-2 online I can't find any specific field or option for PPF interest.
Do we need to report PPF interest in ITR-2 at all?
If yes, where exactly should it be disclosed? Should it be shown under Schedule EI (Exempt Income), or is it okay to leave it out since it's exempt? In schedule EI I can see PF not PPF.
Would appreciate guidance from anyone who has filed ITR-2 with PPF interest recently.
Thanks!
