    • Dear abdul,

      Thanks for reaching out to clarify your doubts regarding Sukanya samridhi yojana (SSY).

      First of all consult the bank in which you are having ur salary account and ask them whether they are providing this scheme related services and discuss with them. If they don’t provide services related to SSY then contact the another banker who provides the same and make arrangements with your salary account banker to transfer the respective amount for SSY to the bank where u open SSY account.

      Thanks & Best regards

      • Hi Venkat,

        You are right. But the sad part is none of the banks are providing any facility to open the account. In fact I have visited in few banks: SBI, HDFC, Andhra Bank etc and they are not at all aware about the scheme. So only option now is post office only.

        As soon as the banks will provide option to open this account, people will able to enjoy more benefits like automatic money transfer.

  2. Hi Venkat Rao Pamidi,

    I have one request pertaining to this scheme.
    I request you to please help me in understanding this scheme through a mathematical formula using one example. Like if my daughter is 3 years old and I am opening a account for her and I choose monthly interest and say paying 1000 rupees monthly up to her age of 21years, so what will be the maturity value I will be getting for her on completing the plan. OR you can take any other example also as per your wish.
    If possible, can you please share the formula also, as I have to explain this is my elders in my village.

    Also, there are many other schemes from various banks , I request you to please explain me how it is different from those schemes?

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    With Thanks and Great Regards,

  3. Dear Gaurav ,

    I’m sorry that I couldn’t answer your queries at the time u asked itself. I was in office at that time.

    Interest in this scheme is to be decided by the government of India for every year. It depends on their fiscal policies to be implemented in respective years. For the financial year 2014_15 it’s 9.1% and 8.7%
    for 2015_16.
    In this scheme interest is compounded annually, here u can get a doubt that if I invest some amount say 1000 per month then ,whether they calculate the interest on 12000 at the end or interest is arrived by
    summing up the each month’s accumulated interest. Answer is they calculate interest for each month without compounding but add the total interest to principle amount you deposited during the whole year.

    For example
    As said by you if you deposit 1000 per month every year and interest % is 9.1 per annum which means 9.1/12*100=0.007583333333 is the monthly
    interest.
    m- month and I – interest

    Interest =(opening balance amount eligible for the month ie your deposit in that month before 5th) * monthly I rate

    m.1. I= (0 1000)*0.007583 =7.583
    .m.2. I=(1000 1000)*0.007583=15.167
    .
    .
    m.12. (11000 1000)*0.0078533=91

    If you do like this then u can get interest for every month and total for the year is 592 this is added to your principle amount at the end of year ie total amount at the end is 12592 This way you can assess the total maturity amount based on your investment.

    Thanks n regards

    • dear sir, can you please explain that, is it possible that interest rate i.e. 9.1% will be consist in every year as per provided rate, if not then how it will be worked?

    • Dear bhuwan ,

      Once please check the method of interest calculation in my reply to Gaurav dalal’s question.Because in this interest is compounded annually but as u deposit some amount monthly the interest is calculated monthly and added at the end.

    • Dear Rajesh ,

      Please read the above post carefully. The rate of interest on this scheme is determined and announced by the Government of India every year depends on issues in their fiscal policy ,And for this financial year it’s 9.1 and 8.7 for 2015-16. Thus interest rates are fluctuating in nature ,So one can’t calculate the maturity amount that will fetch at the time of maturity or withdrawal of the account.

      Thanks & regards

  5. Will the interest be paid during the period after 14 years are completed till the 21st year when the account is matured? Because the excerpt on this site says:

    ‘Interest will be compounded yearly and will be credited to account till the account completes fourteen years from the date of opening’

    Reply
    • Dear Nipun,

      Interest on this scheme is credited to the account even after 14yrs and those lines in the post are an oversight while writing the post ……..

        To the best of my knowledge ,till now there’s no provision that allows to open an account on the name of a non resident child. The main motto of this scheme itself is to encourage the investment in India girl child prosperity so that in long run the sex ratio in India will be balanced.

  9. Hi,

    My child born on 3/1/2015 and now she completed three months and looking to apply for Sukanya Samridhi Yojana.

    My question is: To open this account does my baby require name. Because, when I asked the same question in P.O they said it is not compulsory, but when i went to apply for this scheme they asked for the baby name, without the name of my baby they will accept the application seems. So I am little confused. Please help me.

    And also, please let me know when is the last date to apply for this scheme.

    • Dear suhas,

      There is no last date for this scheme as such. You can open an SSY Account till the age of 10 yrs of the girl child and at any time of the year.

      And coming to the depositing the amount….You can deposit the amount in multiples of 100 at any point of time and any number of times but it should be between Rs. 1000/- to 150000/- per annum. But you should revive your account every year by depositing a minimum amount of Rs 1000/-. Even if you could not deposit or revive your account for 1 yr, you can revive it next year by paying an extra amount of Rs. 50/-.

      Thanks & Regards

  16. Thanks for this compilation Venkat. Key concerns
    1. Post offices have started this scheme first. Banks not yet notified fully.
    2. Approaching a post office to find out about this scheme is very cumbersome as per my experience in Mumbai. They are not very helpful staff in giving information. They only will fill up the form and ask you for docs, but questions are not answered properly.
    They also don’t confirm if money can be deposited in any branch or one has to go to that post office only.
    3. All banks are not ready for this yet.
    I am still trying to locate a bank for starting this scheme as post offices have not been helpful.

      If the depositor dies then the concerned authorities where one opens this account will ask for other guardian who can continue the deposits in the future…….. 1)if there are any one in the family who accepts this then they can carry on as usual.
      2)if no one is there to continue then the amount is paid to the family under which the girl child is being looked after. Or the the account may be continued ,even though there are any new deposits and earn income as usual.

    Thanks a lot for sharing the details about the SSY scheme. I have one doubt in my mind. My daughter age is 8 at present. Now if I open an account under this scheme then I have to invest for 14 years, that means my daughter will become 22 years old. Than we have to wait for another 7 years for maturity. Is it right? And suppose I deposit 1.5 lakhs per annum in this account and for calculation purpose taking 8.5 % interest as an average per year what will be the maturity amount (after completion of 21 years).

    • Hello Ajay,

      Many banks were not officially informed by the top management as they are in the process of formulating the required rules for better administration.
      I hope that they will issue the notification at the earliest.

  48. Sir, I have a daughter of 7 Years. And the age limit is maximum 14 years. My question is, Can I deposit Lump sum amount of previous 6 years i.e. (12000 x 6), so i can get more benefits. And the another question is, annual onetime payment is acceptable or every month the fixed amount should be deposited.

    Reply
    • Dear Kalpak,

      It’s possible to choose either to deposit monthly or annually. And no deposit can be made in respect of previous years when the account was not active…. So you can’t deposit retrospectively.

      This scheme was mainly introduced for encouraging the parents of girl children to invest something for the future of them. And it’s the first girl prosperity scheme offering such higher amount of interest ,so it’s getting tremendous response from the public. Undoubtedly your money will be secure highly.

    Apart from getting interest on the deposites in this scheme , is there any additional benefit provided by government ?

  58. Hi Venkat,

    I couldn’t go through all the comments there are a few questions I have –

    1) Do we have to pay only till the 14the year? Can we pay for more years if we wish?
    2) Is there a cap-collar on the interest rate? For e.g. the interest rate will not dip below 8.5% or so.
    3) In case of death of the guardian/ Parents before the 14 years and if the child/ the nominated guardian is not able to pay the money, how will the child pay/get the money?
    4) Will the scheme get affected with the change in government?

    PNB has started the scheme in case anyone is interested to start it there.

    Reply
    • 1.To the best of information available till now there is no line that should not contribute for more than 14 years….but government may impose restrictions for the Same in future.

      2.No cap collar limit is there.

      3.If contributing guardian dies and girl child can not continue the account further then the accumulated amount will be remitted to her.

      4.yes , this scheme will get affected by changes in government.

    • Dear sanjeet

      1,2,3,5,6,7) No full details about transfer of account and integration with online banking were yet to be issued… So we can come to know after some months… Right now no official information is there.

      4)Normally girl child is the person eligible for withdrawal of this amount except in some cases like she may be unsound etc.,

      8.deposits can be made on systematic manner like either monthly or yearly.

      9) As per the information available right now…. there is no need to submit any additional documents because at the time of opening the SSY Account the relationship is specifically mentioned as the contribution is made by natural guardian/parents.
      10)Date of maturity could be the date on which 21 years will be completed.

    What happens if the account holder guardian expires ?

    Say, in case of my death how the account can still be continued ?
    & what if I expire & my family becomes unable to continue the scheme ?

    Reply
    • Dear Himal,

      If the account holder’s guardian who is contributing towards this SSY account expires then , the bank/po where u open the account will ask the other family members whether they are able to continue the account or not.

      if they can ,then after a few formalities they will continue ,otherwise they will remit the accumulated balance to the account holder.

If required for higher education, what percentage of amount I can withdraw. By the time she turns 20 years, we would not have been paid for 14 years. My second question is will we have to close this account once she gets married off (assuming premature closure in this case). If we are not keeping the account active for 21 years, will there be any penalty for the same.

  69. This is a wonderful scheme from Modi Ji Govt. The other three social welfare schemes of insurance and pension are also great. But I want to remind my fellow citizens that whereas they should fully take advantage of these schemes we must also spread knowledge of these schemes to weaker sections of the society. Please tell your driver, maid, cook etc to avail benefit of these schemes. It is everyone’s duty to ensure that every section of society benefits from these schemes.

  73. Sir,

    Kindly clarify the following points:

    1) My daughter is now 10+years old. What would happen in case she gets married between 18 to 24 years of her age because the term period of 14 years won’t get completed and one can no more operate the SSY a/c. after the marriage of the girl child? Although it has been mentioned in the schime that after attaining 18years and getting married the girl has to close the account and this can be done before the maturity period of 21 years, it is not clear whether the same rule is applicable before the completion of the term period of 14 years.

    2) Should the deposit amount be fixed and to be done regularly throughout one FY or can I deposit different amounts in irregular gaps?

    3) In terms of ultimate assured returns, how do you rate this scheme vis-a-vis PPF or APY?

    Thanks

  83. Hi Venkat,

    Thank you for the detailed articles and the queries your are replying to. I have a small doubt. Recently I opened a SSA account for my daughter through Post Office. I want to know if we have to maintain the same deposit amount every month or can it vary each and every month (and as long as it doesn’t exceed 1,50,000.00 per year). Kindly advice as I would like to transfer the incentives that I get every month (which is not consistant) to this scheme. For example, let’s say i get 3000 RS this month but get 4500RS next and third month I am unable to deposit. So will that be ok? Please respond.
