Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

In the year 2015, the Modi government launched the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. The scheme was part of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign.

Today, the scheme is considered to be the most popular for the safe future of daughters. Under this scheme, any parent can open the account of a child below 10 years of age. After being mature in 21 years, a huge amount is available so that you can be free from the anxiety of your daughter’s studies and marriage.

The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is getting interest at 7.6% annually, which is higher than schemes like fixed deposits, national savings certificate, monthly income schemes, kisan vikas patra and recurring deposits. In addition, you also get income tax exemption on SSY. Sukanya Samriddhi account can be opened in any post office or bank branch.
