The central government is running many schemes to make the daughters of the country financially capable and self-reliant. Out of which ‘Sukanya Samridhi Yojana’ is very important. This is a better plan to invest in. Under this scheme, an account is opened in the daughter’s name. In which some amount has to be invested every year. Very good interest is given by the government on the amount deposited in the account. At present, the government is giving interest of 7.6% on the scheme.
Although earlier only two daughters of a family could take advantage of this scheme, but this rule has been changed under a special circumstance. If there are two twin daughters in the family, then the account of all three daughters can be opened under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. Due to this tax exemption will be given on depositing the amount in the account of all three daughters.
In this scheme, account opening can be started from Rs.250. Which it is necessary to deposit a minimum amount of Rs 250 in every financial year. In case of non-deposit of money, a fine of Rs 50 can be imposed. Explain that this scheme is completed when the girl turns 21, although the investment has to be made only for 15 years. Therefore, keep in mind that the age of the daughter should be less than 10 years at the time of opening the account.
