Sukanya Samridhi Yojana: Every parent wants their daughter to get a good education and a secure future. But this dream sometimes seems difficult amid rising college fees, coaching expenses and wedding preparations. To address this concern, the government has launched Sukanya Samridhi Yojana (SSY). This scheme is specially designed for daughters and investment in it is completely safe.
8% interest and tax-free benefit
Currently, 8% annual interest is being given on this scheme, which increases every year by compounding. The account runs for 21 years, but the investor has to deposit money only for 15 years. The biggest relief is that the entire amount received on maturity is tax-free.
How to get Rs 16 lakh from saving Rs 35,000
Suppose you deposit Rs 35,000 in the account every year. In 15 years, your total deposit amount will be Rs 5.25 lakh. You will get interest of about Rs 10.91 lakh on this. That is, when the account completes 21 years, a fund of about Rs 16.16 lakh will be ready for your daughter. Your actual investment in this is only Rs 5.25 lakh, the rest of the amount will be made from interest.
Why is this scheme special
It is completely safe because it is run by the government.
It gives more interest than other schemes.
Both investment and maturity are tax-free.
A long-term reliable fund is created for daughters. If you also save only Rs 35,000 every year, then after 21 years a fund of more than Rs 16 lakh will be ready for your daughter.
