The scheme aims to secure and improve the life of the girl child. It offers quite a few benefits, including fixed return and tax benefits. This article explains the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana in detail, including its features, eligibility criteria, and how to invest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is an initiative launched in 2015 by the government. It is regulated jointly by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Ministry of Human Resource Development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scheme tackles a major problem that is faced by a girl child&#8217;s parents \u2013 education and marriage. Through this scheme, the government aims to provide a means for the parents to fund a girl child&#8217;s education and marriage expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a government-backed scheme, it is low in risk and also offers fixed returns in the form of interest. Parents of a girl child aged 0-10 years can invest in this scheme. Only one account per girl child and a maximum of 2 SSY accounts per family are allowed. The scheme pays a fixed interest of 8.2% per annum, which is compounded annually. The interest rate is subject to revision by the Ministry of Finance every quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSY matures when the girl child turns 21 years old. Until then, the investment you made will be locked in. You can also partially withdraw (up to 50%) the investment proceeds when the girl turns 18 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investment, interest, and maturity proceeds are completely tax-free. Therefore, when you invest in this scheme, you can claim a deduction of a maximum of Rs 1.5 lakhs per annum under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Does Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSY is a government scheme you can invest in through any post office or authorized bank. Once you open an SSY account, you must invest a minimum of Rs 250 every year until the girl child turns 15 years old to keep the account active. After the girl child turns 15, you need not invest. The amount you contributed previously will accumulate interest, which will be paid during maturity when the girl child turns 21.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Features and Benefits of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are the features and benefits of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Deposits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guardian can deposit and manage the account until the girl child turns 18. After reaching 18 years of age, the girl child must operate the SSY account. The minimum deposit for an SSY account is Rs 250 (formerly Rs 1,000), and a maximum annual deposit of Rs 1.5 lakh for up to 15 years. Deposits can be made through cash, cheque, demand draft, or online transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Interest Rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current interest rate is at 8.2% p.a. for the January to March 2024 quarter , one of the highest among small savings schemes. The interest is revised every quarter by the Ministry of Finance. &#8216;Accounts under default&#8217; (not meeting the minimum deposit requirement) will accrue interest until the account&#8217;s maturity date. Defaulted accounts can be regularised within 15 years of opening, with a penalty of Rs 50 per default year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No interest is payable after the 21-year tenure or if the girl child becomes a non-citizen or non-resident of India. Also, deposits exceeding the Rs 1.5 lakh cap won&#8217;t earn interest and can be withdrawn at any time by the depositor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Maturity Period of SSY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SSY matures 21 years after the account opening or the girl&#8217;s marriage after turning 18. Contributions are required for only 15 years. The account will continue to earn interest until maturity, even without additional deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tax Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investments in the SSY scheme qualify for deductions under Section 80C, with a maximum limit of Rs 1.5 lakh. The interest earned on this account is also tax-exempt under Section 10 of the Income Tax Act. Additionally, the proceeds obtained upon maturity or withdrawal are exempt from income tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that this tax exemption is available only if you opt for the old tax regime. No tax deductions are available under the new tax regime (announced in Budget 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Premature and Partial Withdrawals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For premature withdrawals from SSY, certain conditions must be met, such as covering marriage expenses or funding the higher education of the girl child after she reaches 18 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Education<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Withdrawals can be initiated from the account, amounting to 50% of the balance at the end of the previous fiscal year, once the girl is above 18 years old or has completed the 10th standard. This withdrawal is intended for meeting educational expenses like fees and supporting documents, such as a confirmed offer of admission or a fee slip, must accompany the withdrawal application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A maximum of one withdrawal is permitted per year, either as a lump sum or in five instalments. This is subject to the specified ceiling and the actual requirement for fees or other charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Marriage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Premature or partial withdrawals of the SSY corpus are allowed when the girl child reaches the age of 18, specifically to fund her marriage. The application for withdrawal, accompanied by proof of the girl child&#8217;s age, must be submitted one month before the wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Account Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transfer the SSY account from any post office to a bank or vice versa anywhere in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eligibility Criteria to Invest in SSY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSY is a scheme for girl children only.
