Quick Info

SSY Maturity - Kitna Paisa Banega? (8.2% par)

Ye approximate hain (8.2% constant maan ke). Interest rate har quarter govt revise karti hai, to actual maturity thodi upar-niche ho sakti hai. Par tax-free hone se ye return bank FD se kaafi behtar padta hai.

Eligibility - Kaun Khol Sakta Hai?

• Beti ki umar 10 saal se kam honi chahiye (account khulte waqt)
• Account parent/guardian operate karta hai (beti 18 ki hone tak)
• Ek family me max 2 accounts (2 betiyon ke liye). Twins/triplets case me exception
• Beti + guardian resident Indian hone chahiye

Tax Benefit - Triple (EEE)

Ye EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) category me hai - jama pe deduction, interest pe tax nahi, maturity pe bhi tax nahi. PPF jaisa, par interest zyada.

Account Kaise Khole? (Step-by-Step)

1. Nazdiki post office ya authorized bank (SBI/PNB/BOB etc.) jaao
2. SSY account opening form lo (ya bank app/website se)
3. Documents do:
   • Beti ka birth certificate
   • Guardian ka Aadhaar + PAN
   • Address proof + photo
4. Initial deposit (min Rs 250) jama karo
5. Passbook milega - har deposit isme update hota hai

Online: kuch banks (SBI etc.) net banking se SSY me paisa transfer karne dete hain (account post office/bank me khulne ke baad).

Zaroori Rules

• 15 saal tak har saal kam se kam Rs 250 jama karna zaroori (warna account inactive - Rs 50 penalty se revive)
• Partial withdrawal: beti 18 ki hone par (higher education ke liye) 50% tak nikaal sakte ho
• Maturity: 21 saal par, ya beti ki shaadi par (18 ke baad)
• Deposit 15 saal tak, par account 21 saal tak interest deta rahega

Scam Warning

• "SSY me double paisa / guaranteed extra return" wale agents - FRAUD. Interest sirf govt-declared (8.2%).
• Account sirf post office ya authorized bank me khulta hai - kisi private agent ko cash mat do.
• Fake "sukanya yojana" apps/links - sirf India Post ya apne bank ki official app use karo.
