I think RBI should take action on this

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
Dear Esther,
Only the depositor has to claim the tax benefits u/s 80c.
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.
Dear Esther,
It should same as PPF. Only Guardian who has name mentioned on Passbook/Account can claim the benefit.
regards,
Anurag

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.
