It is launched with the vision to provide a better future for the girl child and enable her parents to build a fund for her education and marriage expenses. The scheme is one of the great ways to ensure a financially secure future for the girl child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits-of-Sukanya-Samriddhi-Yojana\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several benefits of this scheme. Let&#8217;s look at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-High-interest\"><\/span>1. <strong>High interest<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/top-10-schemes-for-a-girl-child-in-india\/\">other savings plans<\/a> that are aimed at offering financial security of a girl child, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana offers a higher interest rate. The government declares the applicable interest rate every quarter in a financial year, and the interest on the investments is compounded yearly. At the time of withdrawal, the funds invested in this scheme increase manifold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Maturity-benefits\"><\/span>2. <strong>Maturity benefits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the scheme, the account balance, including the accumulated interest of the Sukanya Samriddhi Account, will be paid to your girl child (the account holder). If the account is not closed even after maturity, the interest will be calculated on the accumulated amount until the account is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Tax-savings\"><\/span>3. <strong>Tax savings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The contributions you make towards this scheme are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-income-tax\/\">Income Tax<\/a> Act, 1961. Therefore, you can claim deductions up to Rs. 1.5 lakh invested in the scheme. Further, the tax benefits are available on the accumulated interest and the balance received after maturity. This scheme comes under the Exempt-Exempt-Exempt (EEE) status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Flexible-investment\"><\/span>4. <strong>Flexible investment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme is aimed at supporting every girl child. Hence, the investment amount is flexible to cater for parents with different financial needs. You are allowed to make a minimum investment of Rs. 250 to a maximum deposit of Rs. 1.5 lakh per year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eligibility-criteria-to-open-Sukanya-Samriddhi-Account\"><\/span><strong>Eligibility criteria to open Sukanya Samriddhi Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme is available to everyone. However, there are some eligibility criteria. Let&#8217;s understand them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>The parents or legitimate guardians of a girl child can open the account.<\/li><li>The girl child should be under the age of 10 at the time of account opening. The account remains operational till she reaches the age of 21 yrs.<\/li><li>Only one account per girl child is allowed.<\/li><li>A family is permitted to open a maximum of two Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts (one for each girl child). The account can be opened for more than two girls in some special cases, such as,<ol><li>if a girl child is born before the birth of twin or triplet girls, or if the triplets are born at first, then a third account can be opened. However, if a girl child is born after the birth of twin or triplet girls, a third Sukanya Samriddhi Account cannot be opened.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-does-Sukanya-Samriddhi-Yojana-Account-work\"><\/span><strong>How does Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Account work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is necessary to remember that you can make the deposits only for the first 15 yrs after opening the account. After that period, the accumulated funds will earn a compounded interest till the account closes.
