You can do the following:
1. I am presuming you are the employer in this scenario?

2. The PPF account can be closed by approaching your bank wherein you have made the investment;

3. The PPF account can be closed after 5 years though although the new amendment may allow so;

4. Already as per section 80C of the IT Act, there is concession/fully exempted from any liability still you have to mention the same in your IT returns yearly (which is the responsibility of your CA).
