Very nice Scheme for girl child Growth & All the best
Can i invest in my PPF Rs 1,50,000 as well as in Sukanya Samridhi Scheme for my daughter Rs 1,50,000 in one financial year?
I know that under 80C only 1,50,000 is the maximum benefit that can be claimed for tax benefit.
Pl. clarify.
I heard that sukanya samridhi account returns is taxable ? if so there will be huge loss
I heard that sukanya suvidha account returns taxable? if so there is no much benefit out of it
In this scheme if girl deny to withdraw the amount and if guardian need the amount.then there is option to withdraw the amount by the parents or stop the withdraw by girl.
Is there is anybody open this SSY account in any of the Public sector bank?

Pl. clarify.
Who will have the withdrawal power? A girl or Guardian ? or its required the authorization from both?
Insurance products like Child Plan is far better than this trifling scheme. Only plus point is the 9.1 interest rate on all deposits. It is subordinate to insurance policies on these grounds-1. Protection of life is missing (no death benefit) 2. No bonus or loyalty additions available, 2. Loan against deposits is not entitled, 4. Weaver of premiums in case of desmice is unavailable. 5. Not more than 1.5 lakh in a year can be depoaited, 6. In case of bread-earner(guardian)’s death, no benefit is proposed. 7. No withdrawl is allowed before 18 years of age, after that age only 50% can be withdrawn ( one time only). Even Bank deposits are better option than this…
hi, this is good step to save girls & their future. 14 years X 12 months X 1000 = 168000/- & maturity value will be after 21 years = 6 lakh as inquired. if withdrawn before 21 years then 50% can be withdrawn only. Can be deposit 1000 to 150000 per year & covered under 80C for tax benefit.
Unlike PPF, which provides for computation of interest on monthly basis, Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme only states that the interest will be computed annually. Seems balance as on end of the year will be the base for computing the interest which may result in deposits being made at the fag end of the year

Good scheme by govt. for girl child Tax rebate under section 80c
The Sukanya Samriddhi Account has become more lucrative. The Government has announced the interest rate of 9.2% for the FY 2015-16.
I AM CONFUSED FOR THIS SSA SCHEME
Dear All,
Plz dont Get Confused…. this scheme clearly states that till the Age of Daughter gets 21 years it will get Matured… It means if any parents wants to start this scheme directly after birth of their Daughter then they will get benefits as mentioned on the chart means.. till the age of 14 Years from the Birth with payment of 1000 pm total premium deposited id Rs 168000 & after AGE OF 21 OF DAUGHTER PARENTS / DAUGHTER WILL GET 607000 RS THAT IS APPROX FIG….. If any parent whos daughter is of 4 years & if he wants to open an account then he is eligible to pay premium only for TEN Years “ok”… hop now its clear….. Regards, Ni3.
Good scheme but i know that if death of depositer then who will be pay ?
any insurence cover this sheme
Hmm,
21 years for account maturity or if the child turns 21 ??? Well here is a scenario that does not have clarity . The child is 10yrs old now. So the account will maturing when she is 31 ???????? I think they need to rethink this and set it to be 21 years of the CHILD rather then years.
1000×12month×14year= 168000 agr jama hoga to matchruti kya milega p.gupta
