  • If I save 1 lakh in Sukanya can husband show 50k for tax proof and I show 50K. How exactly can the parents show that for tax proofs

      • Do u mean only guardian(either father or mother) in the account of the girl child can claim the deduction? So only one of them can use it for tax reduction? If guardian is mother and she later quits job can the father show it for his tax as he would pay the amount.

  • Sir this finacial year for ssy interest rate is 9.2. The next 14 years interest rate will increase or decreese

    • Dear Iyappan,
      I guess, Online transfer / Direct debit / ECS transfre facility is not provided for SSA accounts. However, kindly check with your banker if this facility is available.
