Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA) along with ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ (BBB) will be officially launched on 22nd January, 2015. These schemes will be introduced by our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sukanya Samriddhi Account/Yojana is a Small Savings Special deposit Scheme for girl child. This scheme is specially designed for girl’s higher education or marriage needs.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced this scheme in his budget speech in July. The gazette on this scheme was released on 2nd December, 2014. On 21st January, 2015 the finance ministry released a notification with respect to the applicable interest rate on Sukanya Samriddhi Account.
Let us understand the features and benefits of Sukanya Samriddhi Account Special Savings deposit scheme.
Features of Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA):
- Who can open the account? – Sukanya Samriddhi a/c (or Khata) can be opened on a girl child’s name by her natural (biological) parents or legal guardian.
- What is the Age limit? – SSA 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. (Girl child who is born on or after 02-12-2003 can open SSA/SSY account).
- How many accounts can be opened? – A depositor may open and operate only one account in the name of same girl child under this scheme. The depositor (or) guardian can open only two SSA accounts. There is one exception to this rule. The natural or legal guardian can open two or three accounts if twin girls are born as second birth or triplets are born in the first birth itself.
- How to open a SSA account (Sukanya Savings Account opening procedure)? Accounts in name of the girl child can be opened in post offices or in any branch of a commercial bank that is authorized by the Central Government to open an account under this scheme rules. As of now, the list is not drawn and many government owned banks are still in the process of completing formalities to open the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) Account, you may visit any of the government banks for the purpose of opening the account.

The cheque or DD should be drawn in favour of the postmaster of the concerned post office or the Manager of the concerned bank.The depositor (parents or guardian) has to write the account holder’s name (child’s name) and the account number on the backside of the instrument.
- What is the Rate of Interest on Sukanya Samriddhi Account? – The applicable rate of interest on SSA for the financial year 2014-2015 is 9.1%. This is one of the highest rates of interest offered by Government on small savings scheme. (Latest News (18-March-2016): The Govt has cut rate of interest of Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme. The interest rate on Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA) for 1st Quarter of Financial Year (FY) 2016-17 would be 8.6%. For complete details on revised interest rates, click here..)
- Is interest rate fixed or variable? – The rate of interest is not fixed and will be notified by the central government on a yearly basis.
- The account can be transferred anywhere in India if the girl shifts to a place other than the city or locality where the account stands.
- Is Premature withdrawal allowed? – 50 % (half of the fund) of the accumulated amount in SSA can be withdrawn for girl’s higher education and marriage after she attains 18 years of age. The account’s balance at the end of preceding financial year is used for the calculation.
- Can the girl child operate the account? On attaining age of ten years, the account holder that is the girl child may herself operate the account, however, deposit in the account may be made by the guardian or parents.
- Is premature closure allowed? In the event of death of the account holder, the account shall be closed immediately on production of death certificate. 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.
- 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).
- Can the girl child continue the account after her marriage? – The operation of the account shall not be permitted beyond the date of the girl’s marriage.

- On opening an account, the depositor shall be given a pass book. It will have date of birth of the girl child, date of opening of account, account number, name and address of the account holder and the initial amount deposited. The depositor has to present the passbook to the post office or bank at the time of depositing/receiving the interest/on maturity.
Income Tax Benefits on Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme – Section 80c
The amount that is deposited under Sukanya Samriddhi Account will be eligible for income tax exemption under Section 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961.
(Issue of making interest income exempt from taxation can be done by Department of Revenue (DoR) through legislative amendments. The matter is under examination of DoR)
Latest News : As per Budget 2015, all the payments under Sukanya Samriddhi Account / Yojana Deposit Scheme are exempted from Income Tax. So, Deposits made under SSA Khata / account are exempted under Section 80C. The interest amount and maturity amount (withdrawals) are also exempted from Income Tax. So, investments in SSA falls under Exempt – Exempt – Exempt (EEE) tax category.
PPF Account (Public Provident Fund) Vs Sukanya Samriddhi Account
PPF (Public Provident Fund) has E-E-E tax rule. As per this rule – contributions, accumulation (interest amount) and withdrawal are all exempted from income tax. There is a high chance that Sukanya Samruddhi Account may be brought under E-E-E catergory(As of now there is no official confirmation on this. Let us wait for more information).
For the fiscal year 2014-2015 the rate of interest on PPF account is 8.70% (upto March 2015). On Sukanya Samruddhi Account this is 9.10%. So, comparatively SSA has higher rate of interest. The interest on SSA will be calculated just like the way it is done on PPF a/c.
Sukanya Samridhi Account – Interest Amount & Maturity Amount Calculation:
You may have few questions like : How is the interest amount calculated on Sukanya Samridhi Savings scheme? – What could be the total maturity amount on SSA Savings account? What is the total interest amount that I can earn on SSA?
Before proceeding with the calculations, below are the main points/assumptions with respect to interest and maturity amount calculations:
- The contributions are allowed upto 14 years from SSA account opening date.
- The SSA savings account can be operated till the completion of 21 years from the account opening date.
- The current applicable interest rate on SSA scheme is 9.1% (this rate of interest will vary in future, as per the Central Government’s future notifications.)
- The interest on SSA will be calculated just like the way it is done on PPF a/c. (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.)
- I have assumed the investments are done at the beginning of every month/year and calender year as April-March.
Sukanya Samriddhi Account/Yojna – Interest & Maturity amount calculation – Scenario 1-Monthly Deposit
Example 1 – Mr Aravind Swamy wants to open the Sukanya Samridhi Savings account in the name of his girl’s child (5 years old) in April 2015. He wants to contribute Rs 10,000 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?
As per above calculations, Mr Aravind Swamy can accumulate total interest amount to the tune of Rs 45.73 Lakh. The total maturity amount on his SSA savings account can be Rs 62.53 Lakh. He also has the option to withdraw 50% of Rs29.89 Lakh when his child turns 18 years. (If he withdraws, the total maturity amount will not be as shown above.)
The present value (PV) of Rs 62.53 Lakh (maturity amount ) is Rs 8.45 Lakh, assuming 10% as Education inflation (the rate at which education/marriage expenses may increase). Kindly think from this angle too.
Sukanya Samriddhi Account/Yojna – Interest & Maturity amount calculation – Scenario 2 – Yearly Deposit
Example 2 – Mr Madhavan wants to open the Sukanya Samridhi Savings account in the name of his girl’s child (5 years old) in April 2015. He wants to contribute Rs 1,20,000 every year 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?
As per the above calculations, Mr Madhavan can accumulate total interest amount to the tune of Rs 46.32 Lakh. The total maturity amount on his SSA savings account can be Rs 63.12 Lakh. He also has the option to withdraw 50% of Rs 30.24 Lakh when his child turns 18 years. (If he withdraws, the total maturity amount will not be as shown above.)
Kindly note the difference in the maturity amounts between the ‘monthly contribution account’ and ‘yearly contribution account.’
My opinion on Sukanya Samriddhi Account Savings Scheme:
I can confidently say that the average rate of education inflation in India is somewhere around 10% to 15%. The rate at which marriage expenses are increasing is also very high.
Given this scenario, the 9.10% rate of interest may not beat the inflation. Unlike Bank fixed deposits, this rate of interest is not fixed.
The better way to create sufficient corpus for a Child’s education is to allocate major portion of savings to equity related instruments (if you have more than 10 years time frame). You can then consider investing small portion of your savings towards this scheme. This scheme can be considered as the DEBT component of your investment portfolio.
Another drawback of SSA is the number of accounts that can be operated. The number of accounts that are allowed to open under this scheme is limited to two accounts only. Parents of more than two girls can not open multiple Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts.

These banks include SBI, ICICI Bank, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank (PNB), Allahabad Bank, Canara Bank, Corporation Bank, Andhra Bank etc., For complete list, kindly read my article – “Sukanya Samriddhi Deposit Account – Authorized Banks list for Account opening – Download Sukanya Samriddhi A.c Opening form.”)

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

Dear Syed ..If your wife is contributing to SSA, only she can claim the tax benefit of up to Rs 1.5 Lakh u/s 80c.
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.
Thanks a lot for the info.

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.

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.

Last year i opened an sukanya account & at that time they told me the interest rate around 9.1% anually.

So, My concern is that is the interest rate i got is right or there is some issue in it. And if yes than whom should i contact for it???

Dear chidambaram..yes you can open SSA.
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
Ganesh
Dear Ganesh,
1 – You may contribute in the first week of April.
2 – Yes

Dear Sir,

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.

Dear Suresh,
You can contribute to SSA account for 14 years from the date of account opening.
In case of any unfortunate event happening, the account holder (child) can continue the SSA account and withdraw money for her education or marriage.
Under the SSA/SSY contribution/deposit amount can be allowed to increase in any time/year by the parents/guardian if so desire. Pl.clarify, since it is beneficial to the poor.
Dear Eshwar,
Yes, it is allowed.

In case of a girl child who is of nine years and nine months old, if her father wants to open SSA but if he dies before 14years of keeping that account operative, will the account be kept operative by government by way of depositing monthly deposit as made earlier and all benefits given to that girl child as if her father is alive?
My second question is will the maturity amount be given only to the hand of girl child in whose name the account exists or to the father who opened SSA on girl child’s name?
Dear Reena,
Yes, the girl child can operate the account and continue it.
I believe that the maturity amount would be given to the girl/lady.

Hi,
I’m visiting india for short term trip, would like to open SSA for my daughter.
Is the worth plan for saving money?
Becos interest rate is fixed for all 21 years right?
then its like another PPF like product..no use i think..based on Inflation rate in India now…
Please reply.
Dear Srinvass,
If your investment objective is to get higher returns (over and above the inflation rate) then you may ignore this scheme.
Interest rate is not fixed, it may vary, but i believe it can be in the range of 8% to 9.5%.
thanks for the info.
is it open for NRIs also?
Dear Srinvass,
Small savings schemes like SSA / PPF are not available for NRIs.

If you close the account after 21 years from account opening date, you may receive around Rs 12 Lakh.

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 Jagdish,
You may receive around Rs 6.25 Lakh.
You wife is eligible to get tax benefits.
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

Dear Shaik,
It is not mandatory to deposit every month. Actually, the minimum deposit amount is Rs 1000 per year.
dear sir mw 14 year me har saal 12000 jama kara ta hu to mera total amount 168000 hota he to muje 21 sal bhad how much interst amount or meri beti ka dob he 06/02/2015
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).
Dear Jaikishan,
You will receive around Rs 6.25 Lakh

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
Dear Noyal,
It depends on your convenience and comfort level.
As of now, no online depositing facility is available.
Kindly note that it is not an insurance scheme.

Dear Kuldeep,

thanks Sreekanth ..
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.
My daughter is 5 yrs old.
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.
Dear Vishal,
I have emailed you the calculator which is in MS excel.
also send me on my mail please in MS excel.
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).
Dear Vishal,
The account balance can be around Rs 4.6 Lakh (after 18 years) and Rs 6 Lakh in 21 years.
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
I can start this account
This month
Account maturity date,amount and periodperiod.
Plz Rely me
Sir,
If unknowingly wife and huabend open this account saperately in different states 2acconts on single child then what are consequences please let me know repl needed
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?
Dear Manish,
Account can be operated for 21 years from the account opening date.
dear sir,

Dear Sir,
Can you please send SSY calculator in excel format .
Regards
Rajni Patel
Dear Rajni,
I have emailed the calculator.
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.
Dear Dinesh,
Thank you for your appreciation.
I have emailed the calculator.

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 Ashik, Send me your mail ID I can send you the SSY Calculation in Excel Format.
Dear Ashik,
The initial deposit should be of Rs 1000.
The maturity amount can be Rs 60,000 (21 years from a/c opening date)
Dear Srikanth, appreciate your work. My daughter’s dob is 2007. I would like to invest 12000 per year. How much would I get on maturity?
Dear Girish,
You may receive around Rs 6.3 Lakh.
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 Girish,
I believe that should be ok, anyways it is better to check with post office staff.
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
Dear Srilakshmi,
Yes, you will receive around Rs 6 Lakh.
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
Dear Ramya,
The initial deposit is Rs 1000/-. After that the deposit can be in the multiples of hundred. You can deposit Rs 500/-.
plz mujhe table btaye per year intrest add krke
sir, where i can open this account . can open account online ??
Dear Vinod,
You can open this account in a post office branch or authorized banks (like SBI, PNB etc.,)
Dear Sunil,
PPF is Public Provident Fund.

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 Rajesh,
You are correct. Thank you for sharing your inputs. Keep visiting!
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 Vijay,
I have emailed you the calculator.
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.
my daughter is 7 years old. i invest 12000 yearly in sukanya-samriddhi scheme. how much i get after 21 years old age?

I and my wife both are working, can we both claim the tax benefit on sharing basis (50% each)
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).
I checked in post office, only one can claim the tax benefit.
Thank you Reddy for sharing useful information.

Is there any tax benifits on interest generated under this SSA scheme.
Dear Pradeep,
Budget 2015 made it very clear about the tax benefits that are applicable to investments made in SSA.
The contributions (deposits) are eligible for tax deductions (upto Rs 1.5 Lakh) under Section 80C.
All the payments (interest amount and maturity amount) are also tax free.
Kindly read my article – “Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme – Budget 2015 – Tax Benefits.”
Please send sukanya samriddhi application
pl send my SSA application
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.
Dear Anu,
The contributions have to be made for 14 years, from the date of account opening.
If you are unable to make high value deposits, suggest you to contribute just Rs1000 per year (minimum contribution amount), after the initial 5 years.
sreekanth,
maturity is 21 years from date of opening or when child attains 21 years
Dear Anu,
It is 21 years from date of account opening.
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.)?
Dear Vikram,
Kindly read my article “Calculate how much do you need to invest for your Kid’s education?”
Based on the calculations, you may have an idea about how much to save pm or pa.
Do you have term insurance? What is your total life insurance coverage ?
Yes Sreekanth….I have LIC term insurance 25 Lacks…
Dear Vikram,
Good to know that you have bought a term insurance plan. Suggest you to analyze if you are under-insured? Calculate the required insurance amount based on your expenses, financial liabilities, financial obligations etc.,
Sir, Thanks for all these informations
Dear Anupama,
Thank you and keep visiting!
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.
Very nice article.

Dear Shreekanth,
thanks for the nice post, i have 02 questions, my daughter is now 10 months old, i can invest 50k /year, what you suggest ,this yojna is better or else any other plan you can suggest me.
2) if i invest 50k/year what will be the maturity amount, considering the current rate of interest.
Dear Ajay,
If you are planning to invest for your Kid’s Higher Education goal, suggest you to first consider investing in Equity Mutual Funds. You have around 16 years from now for your child to go to college. A small portion of your savings can be invested in either PPF or this scheme.
Read my article on “How much you need to save for your Kid’s Education.”

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?
Dear Varsha,
As opined by other investors, some banks do not have any details/information about this scheme. But, this scheme is open for subscription.
You may visit nearest post office .
Hi Sir,

Dear Jaya Priya,
I have emailed you the calculator.
Hi,
Recently I have visited in State bank branch in Delhi, They dint have any qlue about the Yojan.

Dear Deepshikha,
That’s very bad. You may check at nearest Post office branch.
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??
Dear Rajat,
Yes it is allowed, 14 is the maximum no of years considered for contributions. The account has to closed after marriage.
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.
Dear Sreekanth,
On maturity is the amount is taxable?
Best Regards,
Srinivas
Dear Srinivas,
The maturity amount is tax exempted. Let’s wait for confirmation and clarity till the budget session.
sir kya hum is policy ko online balance dekh skte ha.
agar me 10000/- march me jmma krata hu to interest kaise milega
Dear Narendra,
I believe, as of now, online deposit facility is not available.
Is Rs10,000 per month or per year?
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)
Thank you very much
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!
good yojna cg.
which govt bank has started SSA scheme in Gwalior(M.P.)
Dear Pawan,
Suggest you to contact any SBI branches or visit nearest Post office branch.
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,
U r suggestions r really valuable.. Appreciable
I wants to know abt one thing is there facility of direct deduction of contribution amunt from salary.. Pay roll attach.
As I m govt emploee my salary bank is Union bank of India…
Pls reply
Dear Rajesh,
Though it is a Govt’s scheme, I do not think the scheme can be linked to your pay structure. It is voluntary and is not linked to employment.

Dear Sir I Have to Contribute 3000 per year so how much maturity benefit.

Hi,
how to calculate this amt
1500/- amt jama kar sakti hu. so how much maturity benefit.
Dear Megha,
If you deposit Rs 1500 pm, maturity amount will be around Rs 9 Lakh. If it is per annum, maturity amount will be around Rs 78k.
my daughter’s birth date is 23 January 2005. Can she is eligible for this scheme.
Dear Sunil,
Yes, you can open the account on your daughter’s name.
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
Sreekanth,
Thank you so much.
when can we expect this scheme available in banks.
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.
Is premature closure possible by the girl child herself? ???
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).
Can the girl child herself do the premature closure??
If yes, when is this possible???
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.
