Note: To get the benefit of the scheme the girl must be Indian and she will not be NRI (Non-Residential Indian).

2. Number of Girls

Under this scheme, a parent can open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account for only the first two girls and if the third girl is born then no Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account will open for that third girl.

Note: If a parent has a first girl and then second they get twin girls then Government allows them to open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account for all their girls.

3. Security

As the scheme is launched by the Indian government so there is not a single chance that fraud can happen to you. So all your money and documents will remain 100% safe and you will get the benefit of the interest rate.

4. Renew & Transfer availability

If somehow your account gets deactivated then you have to pay 50/ suppress to renew your account. You can also transfer your account from one place to another like if you are living in Rajasthan and opened an account there and now you and your family get shifted to Delhi then from Delhi also you can access and continue your account.

5. Interest Addition

Whatever amount you deposited, your interest will add to your account every year on 31st March.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Benefits

1. High-Interest Rates

The Government is providing Interest of 7.6% in 2022 under the Sukanya Samriddhi account. This rate of interest is quite high as compared to other rates of interest like fixed deposit account provides only 5-5.5% interest and a saving account provides only a 2-2.5% interest rate.

2. Easily Opening Account Facility

You can open this account by visiting any Bank near your area whether it is a government band or private ones like SBI, Bank Of Baroda or the post office.

3. Dedicated Saving

It is a long investment and you will not get your money whenever you want which ensures that your money’s future amount will help you rather than you breaking your account and withdrawing your money whenever you want.

4. Tax Benefits

Under SEC 80 of the Income Tax Act – A rebate of 1.5 Lakh rupees can be availed through this scheme. There is no tax applied on the Interest amount.

Documents Required to Open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Account

If you are willing to open a Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account then you need to understand the documents requirements for opening the account under this scheme.

1. Birth Certificate of the girl.
2. Adhar Card of the girl’s parent
3. Adhar Card of the girl
4. Photo of the Girl
5. PAN card of the Father

These three are the main documents that you must take with you if you are going to open the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account.

Criteria of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana money deposit

Once you have opened the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account then there are certain requirements that you have to full fill every year if you want to enjoy the benefits of this scheme.

• You can deposit a minimum of ₹250/ and a maximum of ₹1,50,000/ in your account every year.
• You have to deposit the above-stated money for up to 15 years till the date of your opening account.
• After 15 years you don’t have to put any amount of money into your account and now your account gets locked for 6 years.
• So after 6 years when your account becomes mature means when it will be the age of 21 years then you will get your deposited money back.
• The money you will receive after 21 years is included with interest so you will get extra money with your deposited money.

Can Premeture Withdraw in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

Let’s take an example there is a girl in the family whose age is 10 years and now her parent open a Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account when the account becomes mature which is after 21 years then the age of the girl will be 31 years. If the family need any kind of financial help during these 21 years then they can prematurely withdraw from their account.

The answer is very simple and the answer is YES you can premature withdraw the amount but under only three conditions,

1. When a girl age becomes 18 years or over.
2. You will only premature draw money if it is needed for higher secondary education.
3. If money is needed for the marriage of an 18+ year girl.

But during premature withdrawal, you will get only 50% of the money you deposited. There is also one condition when premature withdrawal can be done which includes that misfortune happens when a parent of the girl died due to any reason and now the girl has the option either to continue the account or to take the deposited money and end the account.

Why to not Open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Account?

Though the scheme has many profits regarding it still it contains some cons which may discourage you from opening the account.

If you want to open this account only due to the high rate of interest then in my opinion you are doing something wrong as when the scheme was launched it was paying the rate of interest of 9.5% which is quite very high. But as the years are passing the rate of interest on this scheme is decreasing every year and also the government has not decided the lowest limit of interest they will pay in the future so it also happens that in future the government will only pay 3-04% interest which will be low and there is no benefit you will get regarding the scheme.

Who Holds the Scheme Account Girl or the Parent

There is also a misconception among many people regarding the account owner of the scheme. The account of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana will open by the parents of the girl but the account is opened for the girl. So who has access or control over the account? To solve this problem government made very interesting criteria till the girl becomes the age of 18 years then the account is operated by her parents but after she becomes 18+ years then access and control of the account are given to the girl.

Now the Girl has all the control over the account and all decisions must be taken by her regarding the money she will get used for her study or she wants to get married.

But still, there is a problem and we will discuss this problem with an example. Let the parents open the account when the girl was born and they put 1.5 Lakh rupees every year till 15 years. So as the age of the account become mature then the girl’s age will also be 21 years and now it is a problem as the maturity amount is quite high and approx 60-70 Lakh rupees and giving this huge amount of money to a teenager will also create a problem. That is why the enrollment of guardians is very necessary for this.
