You can’t extend your PPF Account post maturity (15 years) if you become an NRI before your account matures.
As per the PPF guidelines, NRIs aren’t eligible to open a PPF Account. However, if a Resident Indian becomes an NRI after opening the PPF Account, he/she can continue to subscribe to his/her account on a Non-Repatriable Basis. But, the account can’t be extended post maturity.
