Benefits of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana for Girl Child

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana offers multiple benefits to its investors and beneficiary. Let us look at some of them:

  • Higher Interest Rate: The scheme acts as insurance for girl child. It offers a higher interest rate than most other savings schemes in India. The current interest rate offered under the scheme is 8.0%. The central government revises interest rates every quarter, which ensures growth of savings at a faster rate.

  • Tax Benefits: Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana offers tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The contributions made towards the scheme are eligible for a tax deduction of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh per annum. The interest earned and maturity amount are also tax-free, which means that the entire amount can be withdrawn without any tax liability.

  • Long Term Savings: A long-term savings scheme, SSY is designed to help parents save for their daughters' future education and marriage expenses. The scheme has a tenure of 21 years ensuring that the savings grow significantly over time. Moreover, the scheme allows partial withdrawals after the girl child attains the age of 18 years, which can be used for higher education or other expenses.

  • Premature Withdrawal of Funds: Parents can opt for premature withdrawal from the account once the girl child attains 18 years of age and require funds for Higher Education.
    However, only 50% of the account balance can be withdrawn in case of premature withdrawal at the end of the previous financial year. One can deposit money in the account for 15 years from the date of opening the account. 

  • Guaranteed Maturity Benefits: When the Sukanya Samriddhi Account reaches the maturity date, the account balance, including the accumulated interest, is directly paid to the policyholder (girl child in this case). This is primarily done to render financial independence to the girl child, thereby acting as an efficient tool for their empowerment in India.
