Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) Rules & Guidelines

Launched as part of the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is a sovereign-backed small savings scheme designed specifically for parents of girl children in India:

  • Account Opening Eligibility: The account can be opened by a parent or legal guardian for a girl child from her birth up to the age of 10 years. A family can open accounts for a maximum of two girls (with exceptions for twins/triplets).
  • Deposit Window (15 Years): Deposits must be made for 15 years from the date of opening. The minimum annual deposit is ₹250 and the maximum is ₹1,50,000.
  • Lock-In & Maturity (21 Years): The account matures strictly after 21 years from opening. From years 16 to 21, no fresh deposits are required, but compound interest continues to accrue.
  • Partial Withdrawal for Education: Once the girl child turns 18 or passes the 10th standard, up to 50% of the balance as of the preceding financial year can be withdrawn for certified higher education expenses.

How This Is Calculated

Transparent mathematical formulas and assumptions used across our financial engines.

Mathematical Formula
A_t = (A_{t-1} + D_t) \times \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)

Variables & Legend

A_t
Accumulated corpus at the end of year t
D_t
Deposit made in year t (₹0 for years 16 to 21)
r
Notified annual interest rate (currently 8.2% p.a.)
t
Year of account existence (1 to 21)

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Deposit Period: D_t > 0 \text{ for } t \le 15

    Deposits must be made annually for the first 15 years.

  2. Lock-in Growth: D_t = 0 \text{ for } 16 \le t \le 21

    No deposits made; corpus continues to compound for 6 more years.

  3. Maturity: A_{21} - \sum D_t

    Full accumulated tax-free maturity value paid out after 21 years.

Conventions & Assumptions

  • Interest is compounded annually and reviewed quarterly by the Ministry of Finance.
  • Partial withdrawal of up to 50% of the previous financial year's balance is allowed after the girl child turns 18 for higher education.
  • Full account closure occurs upon completion of 21 years or upon marriage after age 18.
