  • If I pay lum sum 25000 in a particular year, the next year can i deposit more or less means can i deposit greater than or less than in the next financial year

    • Dear Shaik,
      Yes, you can..

      The minimum annual contribution to the Sukanya Samriddhi Account is Rs. 250 and the maximum contribution is Rs. 1.5 lakh in a financial year.

  • This scheme can also be viewed as an initiative on part of the Government, to increase the domestic savings percentage which had reduced from 38% of the GDP in 2008 to 30% in 2013. This scheme is expected to encourage parents/guardians to save for their girl child’s education and future

    waiting for your reply pls.

  • Hi,
    The information provided is very useful. Thanks.
    I have two questions.
    1) If I invest monthly or Annually, how will I be benefited compared to Interest amount calculated ?
    2) If I pay 2,500 inr/ monthly as a Standing Instruction in SBI, annually it would be around 30,000. Say, by year end I had some surplus amount 20,000. Can i deposit this amount in SSA as well and avail the benifits ?

    • Dear Sharath,
      If you invest say lump sum amount in the beginning of the year, the interest is payable for the entire year.
      This is not the case with monthly deposits. It is calculated monthly on the lowest balance between the end of the 5th day and last day of month,
      2 – Yes, you may do so.

  • I already opened SSA account in my daughter name and i am investing 1.5 Lakh per financial year .Now i would like to knwow who can claim this ( Father or Mother )while filing income tax. How do Income Tax Department verify these.

  • Dear Sir,

    I have opened Sukanya Samridhi Account for my girl child on 11/01/2017. I am planning to deposit INR 1,50,000 annually.
    I have made 1st deposit of INR 1,50,000 on 11/01/2017.

    Now my question is ….
    When should I deposit my 2nd installment ?
    case – 1 : at the start of financial year 2017-18 i.e on 01/04/2017
    case – 2 : at the opening date of next year i.e 11/01/2018
    case – 3 : anywhere in the middle of financial year 2017-18 i.e, say 01/08/2017

    which of the above case would be idle and will benefit me maximum….

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi Concerned

    While I have read all details provided by you I am still little confused & would request you to please help answer my query as below:

    If I have opened SSA for my daughter in year 2015 who was 10 years old at the time of opening account; her account will get mature when she is 21 years old (i.e 11 years from 2015) or her account is matured after 21 years from the date of opening of account

    Regards

    • Dear Lalit,
      The maturity of the account is 21 years from the date of opening of account or if the girl gets married before completion of such 21 years (whichever is earlier).

  • sir if girl entered in 10 years on oct2016, will she eligible for this scheme? Kindly give clear details on that attain age. I read SSA scheme but i want to know above mentioned age(Now entered in 10 years not completed).

    • Dear parveen ..SA can be opened in the name of a girl child from the birth of the girl child till she attains the age of ten years. The scheme would mature on completion of 21 years from the date of opening of the account, with an option of keeping the account till marriage. So, the maturity of the account is 21 years from the date of opening of account or if the girl gets married before completion of such 21 years (whichever is earlier).

      Certificate of Date of Birth from the School Headmaster; or,
      Certificate of Date of Birth from the Hospital where the Girl Child was born.

  • Sir, Iwant to depisit 1 lakh per year in ssy. But in irregular intervals. One time 1000,another time 60,00; And payment maynot be every month. But in total 1lakh.How does is effect in getting interest and penalty ckass?

    • Dear Rajeshwari,
      Under SSA, the interest is compounded on yearly basis. The interest amount is calculated for the calendar month on the lowest balance in an Account on the deposits made between the close of the tenth day and the end of the month. So, it is now clear that no interest is paid on deposits made after 10th of the month for that specific month.

      No penalty is charged if you invest atleast Rs 1000 per financial year.

    thnks RAO

  • Dear Sreekanth,

    Nice article. In fact I was looking for the interest calculation of this scheme. I believed that investing on monthly basis (between 1st and 5th day of each month) would give best returns and so I am operating my PPF and SSA in that way.
    But seeing this article, it seems Yearly contribution yields better returns. So, 2 questions:
    1. On which DD/MM of each year should I invest on an Yearly basis?
    2. Does this benefit stand true for PPF also? If Yes, I will switch to Yearly investment.

    Thanks in advance

    • Dear Sir,

      Account can be opened for any girl child in India who has not yet attained an age of 10 years. Since the plan has been recently launched, there is certainly a relaxation of one year for girls who have attained an age of ten year by 01st December 2014 ie girls born on or after 02.12.2003, only in case if their account is opened by 01st December 2015.

      The year end balance after 12 years from now can be around Rs 30 Lakh. You may withdraw 50% of this fund.

    • Thank you Sreekanth Reddy for your reply

    Could you please explain why there is difference in Scenario1 and Scenario2 interest amt though the contribution is same ?
    How actually it is calculated? For yearly i am clear. Explain more on monthly contribution.

    • Dear Aruna,
      If you deposit the amounts every month, the interest is calculated on previous month end balance.
      Whereas if you deposit in the beginning of a year (yearly mode), interest rate is applicable for the entire year right.

  • Hi Sreekanth,

    Could you please explain why there is difference in Interest calculation for “Scenario 1-Monthly Deposit and Scenario 2-Yearly Deposit”, though the total contribution is same? Thanks in advance!!
    And i would say this is great scheme with proper explaination.

    • Dear Solanki,
      When your kid attains 18 years of age, you can withdraw 50% of Rs 5.5 Lakh (yes, interest is included).
      When you kid attains 21 years (16 years from now) the balance in the account can be around Rs 7.5 Lakh. The account can not be operated after the marriage.
      If you close the account after 21 years from account opening date, you may receive around Rs 12 Lakh.

    Regards DEEPA SENTHILKUMAR

    • Dear Deepa,
      The initial deposit amount (while opening the a/c) is Rs 1000. After that, the minimum amount can be in multiples of hundred. Yes, you can deposit 10 times (10 * Rs 100) in a month.

  • Great work Sir. No need to find anything else, anyone visit your blog. He will get the complete information about Sukanya Samriddhi Account definitely. Thank you so much for this great work.

  • sir,
    the dob of my daughter is 12/02/2009.

    3. if 1000/- per month will be deposited ,then what will be the approximately mature value ?
    4. on attaining age of 18(eighteen), what amount can be withdrawn ?

    • Dear Nirakar,
      1 – deposits can be made for 14 years from ac opening date (2015 +14 = 2019)
      2 – You can operate the account for 21 years from ac opening date (2015+21 = 2036)
      3 – Rs 6 Lakh (approx)
      4 – Around Rs 2.5 Lakh

  • MY CHILD IS 6 YEARS OLD.IF I DEPOSIT 12000 IN EVERY YEAR .WHAT IS MY MATURITY AMOUNT AT THE AGE OF MY DAUGHTER 21 YEAR ie in 2030.shall i can close my account and get the full maturity amount for my childs marriage purpose??OR IS MY ACCOUNT CAN BE CLOSED ONLY AFTER MY CHILDS MARRIAGE??

    • Dear Baiju,
      The account balance can be around Rs 3.7 Lakh (in 15 years from now).
      The account has to be closed after the kid’s marriage.
      You may withdraw 50% of account balance when your kid attains 18 years.

  • 1)I have opened SSYA for my daughter in mar-2015 and paid maximum amount (1.50L). So i can pay for next financial year apr-2015 to mar-2016 financial year from Apr-2015 (1.50L =Rs.12500*12months).
    2)One more clarification : We have to pay for 14 years ie mar2015+14 years = mar 2029 (maximum amt 1.50L for the financial year)or i can also pay upto dec- 2029(1.50L for the financial year)
    3)After the child got married , she can close her account after end of financial year so she can get interest or account should be closed immediately.

    Kindly clarify me

    • Dear Subha,
      1 – Yes, you can contribute deposits of Rs 12500 * 12
      2 – I believe that you can contribute to SSA, till completion of fourteen years from the date of opening of the account. So, it will be upto Mar 2029.
      3 – The account has to be closed after she gets married. The operation of the account shall not be permitted beyond the date of her marriage

  • Dear shrikantha,
    My wife wants to open account and acts as a depositor for the child with DOB 07-12-12 with a year contribution of 12000/-.what will be the approx calculation if i consider this year rate of interest ? to claim 8oc tax benefit i should produce my daughter name OR my wife name ?

  • Dear Sreekanth,
    I think the total calculation is on some assumption but it is not sure that we will definitely get the amount as indicated in the table. It’s not like fixed deposit it’s like mutual fund. The interest rate may increase or decrease depending upon the economic growth. I am not satisfied with the scheme as it is not at all giving confirmation exactly what amount we will get?
    any way thanks for providing the information.

    • Dear Shaik,

      I agree with your views. Interest rates of SSA & PPF a/c may vary every year.
      Whereas if you book (say) a fixed deposit or Recurring deposit, the rate of interest is fixed for the entire term.

      • that’s what in fixed deposit it is clear that you will get fixed amount but in these no guarentee. can you send the xl calculator for ssa to my e mail id

    • Hi Jai,

      You can download the SSA calculator and check how much your maturity amount will be. But don’t go by that way as these are not actual returns. Interest rate will be changed yearly, so it is not possible to know about the maturity amount. If you have a girl child and you want a decent return without taking any risk, I think you can go ahead.

      What you say Shree?

      • Dear Santanu,
        Thank you for your inputs.
        Yes, all the calculations (interest & maturity amounts) are all based on certain assumptions. I request all the readers to understand these assumptions (mentioned in the article).

  • My daughter age is 8 year. I want to deposit 2000/- per month in sukanya yojna. Pl tell me what is the maturity after 14 years.

  • Hello Sreekanth,

    Which is better place to open this account Post office or any bank (say SBI).

    If it is opened in SBI , 1) can we link this scheme to online banking and can we see the details over online .
    2) can we pay the premium through online with out going to Bank ?

    Regards
    Noyal

  • Hi Sreekanth,

    For the financial year 2014-15 the rate of interest is 9.1% and central govt will notify the rate for the forthcoming years on yearly basis.

    My question is that whether there is a chance to come down the rate of interest in the forthcomming years.

    If the rate comes to 8% then this sceme will not be an attractive one.So is there any risk due to the fluctuating rate.

    Is there any sum assured as mentioned in the calculation chart.

    Kindly advise.

    • Dear Allen,
      Yes, interest rate may vary from year to year.
      I believe that may be the case with all the fixed income securities like Bank Fixed Deposits, PPF, RDs etc.,
      Kindly note that this is not an insurance scheme, no sum assured is available.

  • Hi Sreenath,

    Its really very good article. keep it up.

    I have question

    1) First can i open account to my elder brother daughter has a guardian?
    2) Second within this month i will deposit 120000 lakh, then they will calculate/give the yearly interest (above said 10000 rupees)
    3) I’m physically challenged so any other facilities is available?

    Please advise me on this regard.

    Thanks & Regards
    B.Rajesh

    • Dear Rajesh,
      1 – What about the kid’s parents?
      2 – The interest is calculated on monthly balance. You will receive one month interest.
      3 – Kindly note that no other facilities available.

  • Dear Sir,

    Can you send me total calculated amount for each amount means if i paid yearly 12000 or 24000 or 36000 or 48000 or 60000. pls send different calculated sheet for each one.

  • Hi

    My Child is 7 years old. I want to Invest 1000/- Rs per month. So pls advice me to” how much amount i will get in after 18 years completion of my child”. and (how much amount get after 21 years of completion of policy).

  • This is really a good savings for a girl child. so that parents can get relief (up to some extent) from the financial worries for the higher education and of course marriage also.
    I have a 6 years old girl child and wants open this SSA account I can deposite 25,000pa. so will you please tell me what is the maturity amount?

    • Dear Prakash,
      “Up to some extent” is the key here. One should not put his/her entire savings in this scheme. A portion of the savings can be invested in this scheme towards girl child’s education. I strongly believe one needs to opt for other investments too (like mutual funds) to accumulate sufficient corpus for kid’s higher education or to meet marriage expenses.

  • My daughter DOB 9year’s

      • Dear Sandhya,
        I too have this doubt. As of now, I do not have the answer.
        I don’t think post offices or banks have infrastructure in place to track multiple accounts (as of now). We need to wait for few more days/months to get clarity on this topic.
        By the by, did you open two accounts?

      Rajni Patel

        • Hi,
          can u please share the Excel calculator for SSY on mail.

          Also I wanted to understand that there are many options to invest in market for this big tenure… so what are other better options than SSY ?
          Like Recurring deposit with some bank ?

          • Dear Anurg,
            Small Savings Schemes like SSA & PPF (public Provident Fund), post office deposits, bank deposits, NSC (national savings certificates), KVP (Kisan vikas patra certificates) etc., are fixed income (safe) debt-oriented securities.
            For long-term goals like Kid’s higher education, I suggest you to consider investing a major portion of your savings in equity mutual funds and a small portion of your savings can be invested in either PPF or SSA (if you have a girl child).

        • Hi Sreekanth

          Your explanation regarding the scheme and your opinion shows your expertise.

          I would like to request you to send me a copy of Excel calculator of SSA to my mail.

          Thank you.

  • HI,

    I am planning to open the account, Can you please confirm me the amount which we are paying is TAX benifit. Only Parent and guardian can open the account in the name of child, what about the next installment any one can go and pay the amount on behalf of parent/guardian?

    • Dear Sowmya,
      Deposits in SSA are eligible for tax deductions.
      I believe that the deposits can be accepted (but govt circular clearly states that child’s parent or guardian has to deposit the monies)

  • my daughter age is 6 now, if i pay 100 per month. how much will she get at her age of 21

  • Dear, I am an NRE (Non Resident Expatriate) residing in Saudi Arabia. I would like to know some details about SSY.

    What I need to know is, can my wife’s parents open this account for my daughter with all the documents of my daughter and of me or my wife?
    As they mentioned Rs1.50 lakhs is the maximum which can be deposited in a year, is it a calendar year or a financial year which is ending in March?
    Is it is okay that I can deposit whatever I like during the year in the multiples of Rs1000 or above up to the allowed limit of Rs1.50 lakhs?
    Even though it is mentioned that this Scheme can be opened in Nationalised Banks, none of the Banks in Kerala (where I have enquired) are ready for this. Is there is any Bank in your knowledge in Kerala (Kollam District) where this is possible? Or only in Post Offices as of now? Actually, if possible, I would like to deposit before the end of the Financial Year.

    • Dear Girish,
      I believe that the depositor (parent) signature is mandatory. (So, I do not have right answer to your question).
      Rs1.5 Lakh per Financial Year.
      Yes, the initial deposit is Rs 1000/-, after that you can deposit in multiples of hundred, upto Rs 1.5 Lakh (max).
      Most of the banks are not yet ready with necessary infrastructure (software) to open SS Accounts. Kindly enquire in nearest Post office branch or State Bank of India (Main branch in your locality).

      • Thanks Mr.Sreekanth Reddy, Just one quick point, is it possible that I can sign the document and send it across to my in-laws for opening the account or I have to be physically present?

    • dear sir,

      my daughter date of birth is 27-05-2012 if i paid monthly 1000/for 14 years are you sure in get the amount of 6,07,128/ for 21 years

  • I think scheme is better than Insurance schemes like endowment / money back or even child education schemes were the rate of return is 6-8%. This scheme can give a better corpus and avenue for investment.

    • Dear Yogesh,
      Agree with you.
      But, one should not put their entire savings in this scheme, if kid’s education is their primary goal. A portion of the savings amount can be invested in this scheme.

  • Sir monthly can I submit 500 rupees or monthly 1000 rupees only is the submitting amount

  • res. sir
    my ques. is about interest rate, now it is 9.1 but it can decrease or increase as per govt. rules as above saying.
    so how can we calculate the net ammount of saving after 21 years. please clarify my daubt.
    thanks

    • Dear Jaipreet,
      The above figures are indicative only. Yes, the interest rate may vary.
      I have mentioned few assumptions in the article itself, kindly go though them.

  • PPF interest is calculated monthly on the lowest balance between the end of the 5th day and last day of month, however the total interest in the year is added back to PPF only at the year-end.)

    But same interest rule in Sukanya Samriddhi account.

  • i have a doubt in Interest Amount calculation.
    10000 (monthly contribution)
    120000(yearly contribution)
    9.1% interest
    then interest amount would be 10920 (=120000*9.1%)
    BUT per the sheet it is 6083 .. what is that calculation? sorry if i am wrong…

    • I feel that interest amount of Rs 6083 is correct since amount of Rs 10,000 is deposited every month and interest is being calculated on the amount added.
      If amount of Rs 1,20000 is deposited at once at the start of financial year ie 1 April, then interest would have been calculated on this and it would be Rs 10,920

    • Dear Rashtrapathy,
      In monthly contribution, you deposit 10000 * 12 months, interest is calculated on the previous month end balance.
      In yearly contribution, you deposit today, and interest rate is applicable for the entire 12 months.

  • Dear Sreekanth,
    I appreciate you….for giving the reply to everyone.
    Well done.
    Thanks.

    • Dear Velumurugan,
      Yes you can open two accounts on your kids’ names.
      The minimum deposit is Rs 1000 per year and the maximum is Rs 1.5 Lakh. You can contribute to two accounts but the maximum tax deduction that you can claim under

  • Hi Sreekanth,

    Thanks for posting this valuable information.

    I have a baby girl with DOB 22nd August 2011. My question, is it possible to
    deposit 10K per one month and 20K per next month in same financial year?

    Please clarify as soon as possible.

    Regards,
    Madhuri.

  • Dear sir
    My daughter is 7 years old. Im planning to deposit per month 1000 rupees in that account. I need to know minimum how many years i have to deposit and how much amount i will be getting back at the end and in which year.

    • Dear Rubesh,
      You can make deposits upto 14 years from the account opening date. The maturity amount (after 21 years from a/c opening date) can be around Rs 6 Lakh.

  • Dear Sir,
    I Want To Know That My Daughter Birth Date 28/6/2005,
    I Can Open This Account?
    If Yes,
    I Can Deposit 2000/- Per Year.
    How Much Met Me After 14 Years?
    Please Give Me Chart Of Year By Year,
    Thank You Sir.

  • god forbid, as death is uncertain if a girl child dies then what is the procedure.

  • Actually i want to know that my daughter born on 30th July 2015 and now we can open an account called sukanya samriddhi, if we open an account for her , iam ready to pay 12k yearly how much amount shall we get after 21 years .

  • Hi Srikanth,

    Thanks for posting this information.
    Just wanted to know how beneficial this plan is as compared to PPF ? Other than the locking period
    Can this be trusted like PPF ?

    what does this mean, can you elaborate more on this point which you mentioned ?
    The present value (PV) of Rs 62.53 Lakh (maturity amount ) is Rs 8.45 Lakh, assuming 10% as Education inflation.
    Should I understand this in a such a way that, the value of 62.53Lakhs after 15-18yrs would be just 8.45laks due to inflation ? Correct me if im wrong.

    I would really appreciate if you could answer these questions.
    Regards
    Guru

    • Dear Guru,
      My personal opinion is, PPF is still a better choice. You have loan option & partial withdrawal facility after 6 years is also available.
      Also, the interest rate differential between PPF & SSA, which is there now, may not be the same in future.

      Regarding Present value calculation – If current education cost is Rs 8.45 Lakh (higher education), the same may cost you Rs 62.53 Lakh after 15 years (due to rise in prices / inflation)

      • You are right Shree, PPF is far better as we can operate the account online, make recurring payment regularly. But I think we can’t compare SSA and PPF on these factors, as SSA will mainly target those people who are under-privileged. From their need point of view I think SSA has an edge.

        What do you think?

        • Dear Santanu,
          Both are decent investment options and are made available to retail investors (even in small villages / towns) through post office branches. I prefer PPF to SSA.

    • Dear Guruprasad,
      Very good question.
      No where in Govt gazette it is mentioned Depositor(s). I believe joint contribution may not be allowed.
      Kindly check with your bank or nearest post office staff. Do leave your comment here (if you get answer from them).

    My girl child is 5 months old, can i open an SSA, and if opened what will be her maturity amount after attaining 18yrs age to 21 yrs, if Rs. 1000/- amt paid yrly.

  • 1) My daughter is 1.4 year old. if i start investing in SSA, at what age will this account be mature…i mean at her age of 23(21+2=23) or at her age of 21(2+19=21).

    2) I would like to open account and deposit 20,000 every year. can you please let me know how much is the maturity amount.

    • Dear Naveen,
      You can keep the account till 21 years from the date of account opening (so, its 23 years of age, if you open the account now).
      You may receive around Rs 10.5 Lakh as the maturity amount.

  • Dear Sir,

    I have a single girl child born in April 2000. Is she elligible for the said scheme. If not than what are the other similar options

    • Dear SKC,
      You can not open SSA account. Let me know more about your Financial Goals. Your child is 15 years old now, do you want to invest for her marriage expenses? How about your retirement plan?

  • hi sreekanth,
    i have a daughter, 7 years old.
    DOB:09.09.2007.
    I have an idea to invest in SSA.
    i have a doubt whether the deposit has to be made compulsarily for 14 years from date of opening or deposit can be made till my daughter is 14 years old.
    i have a plan to invest only for nearly 5 years.

  • Hi Sreekanth

    I have two daughters first is 7 year old and second is 6 months old.

    I want to spend 1 lack for her education and marriage.

    Can you tell me which is the best option for me (which include inflation rate etc.)?

  • My daughter dob is 24 sep 2004. I want to invest 5000 p/m. Up to what age I have to invest and what amount will I get at what age. Pls don’t tell 14 years and 21 years. Pls tell as per age of my child.

    • Dear Pradeep,
      14 years and 21 years thing is dependent on the account opening date.
      If you open account in April 2015, you can make contributions for 14 years from account opening date ie till 2019.
      You can operate the account till 2036. (If your child gets married before this date, account has to be closed).

      The approx maturity amount will be Rs 30 Lakhs. When you child attains 18 (in 2022) the balance will be around Rs 21 Lakh.

    2) if i invest 50k/year what will be the maturity amount, considering the current rate of interest.

    • i have investment per month 1000 rs monthly for suknya yojana …

  • Dear Sir,

    Mera ek question hai sir kya hum 1st year 36000 deposite karte hai or second year 25000, means every can we deposite different, different amounts ??? Or we have to deposite fix amount, which we decided on account opening time.

  • Dear Sir,
    Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna me minimum per month kitna deposit hai or maximum kitna ?? Kya account opening form internet per bhi uplabdh hai ya nahi agar hai to kon si site se down load kiya ja sakta hai ??

  • Hi, I’ve visited various nationalised banks ie N SBI,Axis bank, Idbi bank etc about this account but none of the banks are aware of this yojna. . Is this only on papers? Where can I open the account?

  • Hi,
    Recently I have visited in State bank branch in Delhi, They dint have any qlue about the Yojan.
    even the branch manager say..whats this yojan we dnt know…

  • Hi

    I have a doubt, this scheme says The contributions are allowed upto 14 years from SSA account opening date. But if marriage of a girl child occurs before 14 years (let’s say anyone starts this scheme at the age of 9 yrs of girl child and after 13 years at the age of 22 years she will be married) then in this case anyone will pay till 13 years only. So is it allowed??

  • Hi Sreekanth ,

    Nice and very informative post, I have got a question , I am planning to invest in my daughters name and my wife will be claiming exemption for the same. In future if my wife does not claim , can I deposit and claim exemption.

    • Dear Mohan,
      If you are the contributor, how can your wife claim the tax exemption?
      I am not very sure regarding your second query. I believe, new guardian/depositor is allowed only if there unfortunate event happens.

  • sir kya hum is policy ko online balance dekh skte ha.
    agar me 10000/- march me jmma krata hu to interest kaise milega

  • By when you are expected to get clarity on tax (E-E-E)? Unless this scheme is not E-E-E, it is not advisable since PPF gives better yield.
    Secondly, which banks have got mandate for this scheme? There is no public listing of designated bank branch available on net.
    Thirdly, what treatment will be given on maturity? Since the corpus will be made available in child’s name while the investment will be in parent’s books of account? Does this mean that at the time of maturity, parent need to show as gift? if yes, it will attract gift tax.
    Lastly, is the interest calculation on monthly closing balance or daily balance?

    Thanks for sharing knowledge. And information is articulated very well.

    • Dear Mitul,
      Very good questions.
      As of now, PPF with Exempt-Exempt-Exempt tax rule, is the best savings option. We may get clarity on SSA tax rule in this coming budget.
      Yes, there is no information available about the authorised list of bank branches. As attached in the article, post office branches have received official circular to accept the deposits under this scheme.

      If E-E-E tax rule is followed, then no issue with taxation part.
      If interest is taxed, then I believe the same rules of Recurring Deposit/FD deposit taxes are applicable. Kindly read my article on “FD & RD taxes.”
      Interest calculation is on monthly balance basis.
      Keep visiting and do share your views regularly. Cheers! 🙂

  • my daughter’s DOB 20-04-2005 (10 yrs)
    my query is, if I need 25 lakhs for her marriage at her 21 st age how much money I should invest yearly in SSA

    • Dear Daly,
      You can invest around Rs 50,000 per year. You may get around Rs 26 Lakh as maturity amount. (Assuming 9.1% rate of interest for 21 years, remember the rate of interest will not be the same)

      • Hi,
        But how, she is already 10 yrs and we have only 11 yrs left to invest. How can we calculate 21 years interest and get 26 lakhs? Pls clarify

      • Hi Sreekanth,
        But how? She is already almost 10 yrs now and we have only 11 yrs left to invest. Then how could we calculate 9.1 % interest for 21 yrs and maturity amount as 26 lakhs. Please clarify. I think we need only 11 yrs calculation.

        Waiting for your reply.

        • Dear Daly,
          I agree with you that there is still some confusion out there, regarding the term of SSA a/c.
          The govt gazette says, the account can be operated till 21 years from account opening date (it does not say, the term is linked to child’s age). You can make deposits for 14 years from account opening date.

          If you get a chance to visit any bank branch or post office branch, do share your experience here. It will help all of us. Cheers!

  • I Need a Clarification:
    1)If i open SSA account in feb 2015, either in Feb or mar 2015 if i deposit 1.5L .It will come under maximum deposit limit of SSA a/c for the 2014-2015 financial year or consider as 2015-2016 maximum limit.If it is consider for 2014-2015, then i can deposit maximum limit for 2015-2016 in SSA a/c.

    2)If my daughter got married before completion of 21 years of SSA ,whether she should close the account or can wait for maturity of SSA a/c (21 years).

    Please clarify my doubt.

    • Dear Subha,

      1 – Yes, you can deposit max contribution of Rs 1.5 Lakh in Feb / Mar 2015. This is considered for tax exemption for the financial year 2014-2015. You can also deposit Rs 1.5 Lakh for the coming FY 2015-16.

      2 – The account has to be closed by her after the marriage.

  • Dear shreekanth,

  • Hi
    I am having one doubt. If parent/guardian may death immediately after the 1st year premium. Does the child get what benefit under the scheme?
    If some or other reason the premium not paid subsequent 3 months due to illness what happen to the policy?
    Can you clarify this.

    • Dear Senthil,
      Please go through some of my previous replies regarding to your first query.
      It is not mandatory to contribute every month. (Kindly note that it is not a premium). The minimum contribution per year is Rs 1,000.

      • Hi Sreekanth,
        Thanks for your advice. Additional clarification,
        1. The point what i am asking is , pre-mature closure of the account is permitted. But what was the amount the child may get?Is there any penalty or some percentage only given back to A/c holder like that.
        2. Is online A/c opening and transaction is available?

        • Dear Senthil,
          1 : On Premature closure – The balance at the credit of the account shall be paid along with interest till the month preceding the month of premature closure of the
          account. No penalty is applicable.
          2 : As of now, online deposit facility is not available

            • Dear Senthil,
              I believe this scheme is available at Post office branches now.
              Based on few comments posted here, I think the scheme is not yet available in most of the reputed banks. Do check with your bank and let us know.

    • Dear Jyoti,
      Premature closure is allowed;
      1 – on the occurrence of an extreme event (in case of untimely demise of the a/c holder, girl child) (OR)
      2 – Where the Central Government is satisfied that operation or continuation of the account is causing undue hardship to the account holder, it may, by order, for reasons to be recorded in writing, allow pre-mature closure of the account (only in cases of extreme compassionate grounds).

  • Mrs. Reshma Jedhe wants to open the Sukanya Samridhi Savings account in the name of her girl’s child (1.10 years old) in April 2015. He wants to contribute Rs 1,000 every month for 14 years. He also wants to keep this account active till 21 years from the account opening date (or till Child’s age of 25 years). He wants to know, what could be the total approximate interest amount and total maturity amount that he would accumulate under SSA?

    • Dear Reshma,
      In this scenario, your total contribution will be Rs 1.68 Lakh (over a period of 14 years).
      The approximate interest amount can be around Rs 4.3 Lakh and the total approx maturity value can be Rs 6 Lakh.

  • I wanted to ask whether the amount is for is monthly or yearly e.g 1000 . do we have to pay it once in a year or every month.

    • Dear Arvind,
      The minimum contribution per year is Rs 1000 and the maximum is Rs1.5 Lakh pa.
      You can deposit the amounts as per your convenience (there is no restriction that they should be monthly once). You can deposit in multiple of 100s after depositing Rs 1k.

  • My daughter is 4 yrs old & 1 yrs means I can deposit for next years ….and get get the principal and interest at her 21 years of age…interest not given now and then?

    • Dear Atmaram,
      I did not get your question.
      Principal and interest is payable only when girl child attains 18 years (50 % of fund value can be withdrawn) and the remaining after the completion of 21 years from a/c opening date.

  • If suppose in sukanya samurridhi scheme, parents or guardian expire in road accident incase after 5 years , how will be account carried on? who will pay the money or how the child will get the money, what will be assurance ? as that time child might be school going.

    • Dear Sneha,
      There is a clause in the Govt’s Gazette, which says, if continuation of a/c is causing undue hardship to the a/c holder (girl child), the premature-closure of SSA account is possible. The account can be discontinued.

  • Hi…..my child born in Australia and she got overseas citizen of India card…. is she eligible for this scheme

    • Dear Ganesh,
      This scheme is governed by Post office Small Savings Scheme rules and I believe NRIs are not eligible to invest in these kind of SSS. (But in the official gazette, there is no clause about NRI’s eligibility)

  • Hi, what is the actual amount benefit from government to us??? or only the benefit of interest on our deposited amount is there???

  • After completing 21 yrs of child, Parent will have the rights to withdraw the amount, Or acct. holder can manage the account.. Because after 21 yrs who knows the daughter will think of her parents.

  • Sir if parent or guardian dead what is account position. Please give me reply as early as possible

    • Dear Kishore,
      Very good question.
      There is a clause in the official gazette, which says – “Where the Central Government is satisfied that operation or continuation of the account is causing undue
      hardship to the account holder, it may, by order, for reasons to be recorded in writing, allow pre-mature closure of the account only in cases of extreme compassionate grounds..”
      If the depositor (parent / guardian) is no more, a girl child may or may not contribute towards the scheme. It may cause undue hardship to her. The account can be closed prematurely.

  • sir,i have 2 girl child 1 of 10 years and a 7 years old i want to know that total 1.5 lacks is tax exemted or for second

    • Dear Gomathi,
      As of now the rate of interest offered on SSA is 9.1% (higher than that of PPF’s 8.7% for 2014-15), but there is no guarantee this will be maintained in future.
      Also, looks like the interest income is taxable, whereas PPF a/c interest income is tax exempted. (SSA interest income tax exemption point may be clarified during this budget session).
      Suggest you to wait till March. (If you want to open right now then you can consider PPF a/c)

  • Hi Swamy,
    I have a negative question. What happen of this scheme, incase girl child is no any more before the age of 18 or before 14 yrs completion of deposited money?

    Thanks,
    Anil

    • Dear Anil,
      In the event of untimely death of the account holder, the account shall be closed immediately on production of death certificate issued by the competent authority, and the balance at the credit of the account shall be paid along with interest till the month preceding the month of premature closure of the account , to the guardian of the account holder.

        • Dear Kavtha,
          Guardian can continue to deposit the amounts. If the account holder (girl child) is unable to continue the account, under extreme circumstances (like the one you have mentioned), may discontinue the account and can get back the accumulated funds.

  • Hi,

    I want to know that if we open this account of Rs. 5000 this financial year and later can we increase the deposit from 5000/ year to 10000/year or decrease to 2000/year?

    Regards,
    Venkatesh

    • Dear Amar,
      On SSA a/c – As of now, rate of interst is higher than PPF. But, looks like Interest income is taxable. (We may get clarity by this month end, hope so). Else it depends on what income tax slab are you in?
      PPF – It is a tax free investment.
      Suggest you to wait for few more days and then take a call.

  • Thanks for information.
    My question is Is we get tax exemption on balance amount of our account.( If we deposit Rs. 1000/- every month).

    • Dear Nitin,
      Very good question. Legally, the guardian/parent can open only one account in the name of a girl child, under SSA Scheme. As of now, I do not think there is any infrastructure (common database) is in place to track down multiple accounts 🙂
      May be in future Govt may come up the ways to track multiple a/c (remember these are long term saving a/cs, so lot of time left for them to implement these things) (May be based on depositor’s PAN no etc.,). Let see..

  • Whether we will get benifit for PPF & sukanya Scheme i.e 1.5 +1.5 lacs under 80C? or only 1.5L both put together.

  • Dear Friend,

    I understand that NRI can not invest as per rules,

    Any of my relation in India can invest for My NRI daughter?

    Please inform.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Guna

  • sir I have ppf account is there I tied up with this scheme which one best this or ppf

    • Dear Devasenapathy,
      As of now the rate of interest on SSA deposits is 9.1% and on PPF it is 8.7%. From interest rate point of view, Sukanya scheme is better. But remember that these interest rates will vary in future.
      Regarding income tax benefits – As of now PPF is better than SSA. The deposits made under Samridhi scheme are exempted from income tax under section 80c. The maturity amount withdrawal is also exempted from taxes. The only grey area is about ‘taxation of interest income.’ If this is also made as ‘tax free income’ then SSA can be better than PPF.

  • How oftenly can v credit the amount.can v have it on monthly basis as v have for RD scheme

    • Dear Varsha,
      Yes, you can deposit the contributions on a monthly basis. The minimum initial deposit is Rs 1000. After that deposits can be in multiple of one hundred rupees. The maximum allowed deposit(s) is Rs 1.5 Lakh in a single financial year. This limit is applicable for single deposit or multiple deposits.

    • Dear Ravi,
      It is practically impossible to list all the banks (with authorized branches details) here. As per scheme guidelines, the depositor can invest in this scheme in all the authorized branches of commercial banks. The best way to find out about ‘which bank branches are authorized,’ is to check with your bank at your location.

  • My daughter is 9 yrs old…means I can deposit for next 5 years ….and get get the principal and interest at her 21 years of age…interest not given now and then?

    I have already 1.5 l for 80 c….so this scheme will not be useful for me….unless the interest income is tax free…am I right?

    • Dear Mathi,
      As per my understanding, the contributions (deposits) can be made till the girl child attains 21 years (or) 14 years from the date of opening of the account, whichever is earlier. If you open an account now, you can make 12 deposits. The interest rate may not remain the same every year.
      As of now there is no clarity on taxation part with respect to ‘interest income.’

      • Dear Mathi,
        A small correction in the above reply…The contributions are allowed for 14 years from the date of a/c opening. You can deposit for 14 years (till your kid reaches 23 years). The account can be operated till the completion of 21 years from the date of a/c opening. But, you can’t continue operating the a/c after your kid’s marriage.

        • Ideally I should use the money @ 21 years…should not wait for 14 more years, if the child is 9 year or 10 years, they have to wait for till 23 or 24 years…And after 23 year or 24 years, is that amount can be withdrwan fully? Can you please clarify this?

          • Dear Swami,
            If you are depositing the monies on behalf of a 10 year old girl, you can withdraw 50% of the accumulated money once she turns 18, for education expenses. I believe it is not mandatory to contribute for all 14 years from a/c opening date. Also, she can withdraw the remaining fund as soon as she gets married.

          • I talked to postoffice folks on this…they clearly told that 14 years is the kids age (mean parents can deposit money till the child get the 14 years age, after that we cann’t deposit)…and @ 18 years, 50% can be withdrwan (its optional) and @ 21 year full can be withdrwan.

            • Dear Swami,
              Thank you for sharing your experience here.
              As of now, i can neither agree nor disagree with you.
              As per the Govt’s official Gazatte (attached at the end of the post), page no 4 under the ‘Deposits’ section, it is mentioned as ‘Deposits in an account may be made till completion of fourteen years, from the date of opening of the account.‘
              Regarding, Maturity of account – Visit page no 5, under closure on maturity it is given as, ‘The account shall mature on completion of twenty-one years from the date of opening of the account.’
              Since this scheme is new, there is still lot of confusion among the investors and also the bank/postoffice staff.

              If the point opined by the post office staff is right, we can look at it from another point of view – A parent of a 10 year old girl child can then get a chance to deposit only 4 installments. The main intention of the scheme is to generate good corpus for Girl’s education/marriage expenses, which may not be possible with such limited no of contributions. This is my personal opinion.

              I will update the post as soon as I find any official/formula communication on this.

  • I have four daughters one is 11 year old, 8,4,1 respectively so in which daughters name I should open the account? Please advise.

  • I think govt only thought about those people who don’t have internet, other way the rural people. How this plan will accumulate money for Marriage? The way our society spend in marriage this account will not be able to accumulate that amount. Parent can use this account as another option only.

    • Dear Santanu,
      I agree with you. These kind of plans will surely turn out to be chart-busters. Many Investors in rural India do not have easy access to various investment options (like equity,mutual funds etc). The intention behind this plan is good.
      There is no doubt that investments in these type of schemes will not give decent returns (inflation adjusted). But, some long term savings (investment) is better than nothing (atleast from rural investors point of view). What are your views?

  • Thanks for kind information. Plz share if any other information you have. Thanks again.

  • Thanks for all the information. Will shortly visit SBI for account opening, will share my experience and additional information if any.

    • Dear Reema,
      Wonderful! Kindly reconfirm with the bank staff about the income tax benefits that are available under this scheme. Do share your experience with us. Thank you and cheers!

  • Thanks Sreekannt,

    Very useful information.

    But would like to know that there is nothing mentioned in the document given by government that invested amount would be covered under 80c for tax exemption. Can you please provide me any other source for the confirmation of this thing?

    • Dear Dharmesh,
      Post office Saving Bank General Rules are applicable to this scheme too. The deposits to the tune of Rs 1.5 Lakh can be exempted from Section 80c.
      But there is no clarity regarding the taxation of interest income and maturity income.
      I checked with one of my friends who is a Chartered Accountant, he is also of the same opinion. Let us wait for few more days to get more details.

  • Dear sreekanth,

    Is this sukanya samridhi account can be opened any SBI/SBT/corporation bank branches in tamilnadu? will it really works on tax saving under 80C schemes? please reply for both Questions.

    • Dear Balasubramanian,
      Yes, you can open the account in the mentioned banks. But I believe only authorized branches are allowed to accept the account opening applicaitons. Check with you banks about which branches are accepting the deposits under SSA scheme. Kindly share your experience here (if you could open the account).
      The deposits contributed under SSA scheme are eligible for tax deduction under Section 80c. But there is no clarity regarding the tax implications on interest and withdrawals on maturity. We can expect some clarity from the upcoming budget session.

  • Hi Srikanth,
    Is NRIs can open this account on behalf of their Kids, who has other country’s citizen ship? As if now parents has Indian citizens. But in future they may get another country’s citizenship. Will it impact to claim the matured FD in future?

    • Dear Priya,
      Sukanya Samridhi scheme is governed by Post Office Savings Account Rules, 1981. As per RBI guidelines, a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) may not be eligible to invest in Small Savings schemes.

  • Which are the authorized banks. ?

    couple of weeks back, checked in Bank of Maharashtra.

    they clearly denied account opening in any of the government schemes

    • Dear Abhijeet,
      Though the Govt’s gazette related to this scheme was released in the first week of December 2014, its only in the last week of this month (21st jan,2015) the Finance ministry notified the interest rate on Sukanya Samridhi scheme.
      This might have been the reason to reject your account opening application by your bank. You may contact your bank now. If you still get the same reply from your bank, ask them about any other authorized branch (of same bank in your city/town) which can accept your application.
      Request you to come back and share your ‘account opening’ experience here! It might be useful for others too. Cheers!
