What is the legal status of the PPF account should I be involved in some legal dispute?

The balance in a PPF account cannot be attached under an order or decree of a court.

The balance in a PPF account cannot be attached under an order or decree of a court. This simply means that if you are involved in a legal dispute, a court cannot attach or question the money in your PPF account, as would be the case when it comes to your other personal property. But, the PPF account can be attached by the Income Tax and Estate Duty authorities.
