Jitendra Solanki, JS Financial Advisors, says every investor has a goal concerning the PPF maturity amount. He is of the view that the investor should withdraw the lumpsum amount if he/she is close to their goal on maturity of PPF amount. They should use this money to fulfill their personal goals, he said. 

However, if you one has not attained his/her goal during maturity of the account, they should continue the investment for another five years, added Solanki.  

He also suggested that one can also opt for an option where he/she does not have to invest in the five-year block and continue to get interest
