Imagine this.
You are 35 years old.
You’re busy with career, family, kids, EMI, school fees — the usual life roller coaster.
Retirement feels far away… almost unreal.
But what if I told you that with just ₹5,000 per month, you can create a guaranteed, tax-free, lifetime pension that will start at age 60 — and never run out?
Yes, never.
This is not a scheme, not a policy, not a “new fund offer”.
This is your own PPF account — when used smartly.
Let me take you through this in a simple story.
The Story of Raj — A 35-Year-Old Who Built His Own Pension
Raj is like many of us — disciplined but busy.
He wants to retire peacefully, without worrying about markets, returns, or taxes.
One day, he learns about a powerful strategy:
“Use your PPF not just as a savings tool…
but as a pension generator.”
Curious, he begins at age 35.
Let’s understand this….Raj’s Pension Plan in Three Steps
Step 1: Age 35 to 60 → Invest ₹5,000 per month
That’s ₹60,000 per year
For 25 years
At a safe, government-backed 7.1% interest
Raj invests consistently.
By the time he turns 60…
His PPF balance grows to approx. ₹39.97 lakh
(Yes, fully tax-free!)
Step 2: Age 60 → Stop investing, start living
Raj stops his monthly deposit at 60.
Now the PPF money continues earning interest — tax-free.
At 7.1% per year, his ₹39.97 lakh earns:
₹2,83,852 interest per year
or
₹23,654 per month (tax-free)
Step 3: Age 60+ → Withdraw only interest = Pension for life
Raj withdraws just the monthly interest.
Because he never touches the principal:
The corpus stays intact
The pension never stops
Everything remains tax-free
This becomes his personal lifelong pension plan, created without buying any annuity or policy.
Final Result
If you invest ₹5,000/month in PPF from 35 to 60:
Your tax-free pension at 60 = ₹23,654 per month (approx.)
This pension can continue forever
Your principal remains untouched
