A pharmacist by profession, 37-year-old, Sachin Acharekar always preferred traditional tools for investment purpose. He started investing in a Public Provident Fund (PPF) account way back in 2007, when he was just 25. His motive was to create a corpus for the future. While he admits that a PPF account back then was one of the most feasible option, it also came with a lot of benefits, the best being the tax exempt-exempt-exempt factor. “You could get deduction up to Rs1.5 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which helps you save tax,” he said.
