What is ssy?

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a savings plan for women that was started in 2015 as part of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign by the government. With this programme, guardians can open a savings account for their girl child at a commercial bank or India Post branch that has been approved.

The interest rate for the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is 8.5% per year. The amount will be paid back after 21 years. It's important to remember that each person needs to make at least one contribution a year in order to keep the scheme going for 14 years. Between year 1 and year 21, the person can choose not to put money into their SSY account if they want to. But the investments that were already in the account will continue to earn interest at the current rate. So, the final amount is equal to your net contribution plus the interest you earned.

Do keep in mind that you have to make a deposit until 15 years after the account was opened, or else the account will be put under "Account under default." You can get your account reactivated by paying a fine of INR 50 per year for not making a deposit. The account can be reactivated up to 15 years after it was first opened.

2. Helps you save money for your daughter's education

If you are the girl's parent or guardian and she is under 10 years old, you can open an SSY Account for up to two daughters. Now for the big plus. When the girl turns 18, she can take out 50% of the balance to pay for college. Must show proof of admission.

3. Triple tax benefits

If those reasons weren't enough, the scheme also gives you tax breaks that you can't refuse.
A. Section 80C of the Income Tax Act allows a deduction for deposits of up to INR 1.5 lakh.
B. There are no taxes on the interest earned from the deposit. The interest is added up each year.
C. Even the amount you get when the bond matures is not taxed.

4. Interest rates that are appealing
For accounts opened between October 1 and December 31, 2018, the interest rate is 8.6%, which is one of the highest rates for small savings plans.

5. You only have to put down money for 15 years.
After 15 years, you don't have to make any more deposits until the deposit matures, which is 21 years after the account was opened. The interest on the deposit will continue to grow.

6. It is possible to quit early in certain situations

After 5 years of keeping up with the Deposit Account, if the bank or post office finds that keeping up with the account is putting a financial strain on the girl child because of illness or the death of a guardian, she will be able to get her money out early. Even if a guardian or parent dies, a child can leave the programme early.

You can also close the account early if the beneficiary is going to get married before he or she turns 18, which is the legal age to get married. (Marriage plans should be made known a month before the wedding and up to three months after the wedding).
