What is Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) Scheme?

This scheme was introduced in 2015. It was launched with the aim to help parents accumulate funds to pay for their girl child’s future expenses, like education costs.
It’s a savings initiative that can be subscribed for girl children solely. To subscribe to the SSY, parents can start an account in their daughter’s name. This account can be opened with an authorised bank or Indian Post Office. Furthermore, by investing in this scheme, the investor can become eligible for tax benefits. But to subscribe to this scheme, individuals must meet its eligibility requirements.

Eligibility Requirements for the SSY Scheme

Individuals who want to subscribe to this scheme must meet the below requirements-
  • This scheme can be subscribed for a maximum of two girls per family.
  • The girl should be a resident of India.
  • The girl child’s age shouldn’t be more than 10 years.
  • The partial withdrawal facility will be available once the girl child becomes 18 years of age.
  • The Government of India determines the interest rate.

The Formula for Calculating the Maturity Value From Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

The below formula is used to calculate the result-
A= P(1+r/n) ^ nt
A is the compound interest
P is the principal amount
n is the number of times interest gets compounded in a year
t is the number of years
r is the rate of interest
While this formula can help determine the maturity value, individuals can use an SSY calculator to find the result quickly.

In order to use this calculator, the user needs to enter a few details, such as-
  • The investment amount per year.
  • The girl child’s age.
  • The starting year of the investment.

Once the details are entered, the maturity value of the investment will be calculated. The calculator will also help the user find out the maturity year.
Under this scheme, there is a lock-in period of 21 years. However, from the 15th year, the subscriber is allowed to not make any contributions. But the SSY account will earn returns on the invested amount. Subscribers must keep in mind that they need to make an investment at least once a year for 14 years to keep the account active.
