About Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

SSY is a small deposit savings scheme for the girl child launched under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign. It offers one of India's highest risk-free returns with full tax exemption.

EEE tax status

SSY enjoys Exempt-Exempt-Exempt status. Annual contributions qualify for ₹1.5 lakh 80C deduction, interest accrued is tax-free, and maturity amount is fully exempt.

Partial withdrawal

Up to 50% of the balance can be withdrawn after the girl's 18th birthday for higher education expenses. This helps fund education without closing the account.

Premature closure

Account can be closed prematurely in case of account holder's death or life-threatening disease. Marriage after age 18 also allows premature closure.

Deposit period

Deposits must be made for 15 years from account opening. The account continues to earn interest for remaining years until it matures at the girl's age 21.
