What happens to a PPF account in event of the depositor's death? If a PPF account holder dies and there is no nomination, who gets the deposited amount?

If the amount is up to Rs. 1 lakh, the accounts office will pay it to the legal heirs of the deceased on receipt of application in prescribed form.

If the amount is up to Rs. 1 lakh, the accounts office will pay it to the legal heirs of the deceased on receipt of application in prescribed form, supported with necessary documents without production of succession certificate. If the balance is more than Rs. 1 lakh, it is necessary to produce a succession certificate.
