Things To Know About Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana 

Here are a few things you need to keep in mind about the plan:

• The Sukanya Samriddhi account can be taken over by a girl child when she reaches the age of eighteen.
• Only one account is permitted per girl child under the age of ten. Accounts can be moved from one bank to another. Only two accounts are allowed per family, with a third account available in the case of twins or triplets.
• The minimum and maximum investment amounts per year are INR 250 and INR 1.5 lakhs, respectively. To keep the account active, the investor must make a minimum contribution of INR 250 every 15 years. In the event of a default, a penalty of INR 50 must be paid, along with the minimum amount (INR 250), to reactivate the account.
• The earnings are deposited into the account once a year and can be withdrawn when the girl reaches the age of 21 or marries, whichever comes first.
• Up to 50% of the money can be retrieved for the girl child's higher education once she reaches the age of eighteen. Only interest is paid on the balance for the next three years.
• Premature withdrawal is only possible if the child dies or requires medical treatment for life-threatening illnesses.
• After the scheme's maturity, the SSY account does not earn interest. In other words, the maturity amount will no longer generate interest if it is not withdrawn after 21 years. The entire sum would be held in reserve by the federal government.
