Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana – Application Form & List of Banks to Open an Account

This post is written by Shiv Kukreja, who is a Certified Financial Planner and runs a financial planning firm, Ojas Capital in Delhi/NCR. He can be reached at [email protected]

It has been over a month now since the government launched the “Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana” on January 22nd. But, no authorised public sector bank has the details or the application form of this scheme till date to help investors open an account. Even the post offices are not providing the application form or the details of the scheme easily.

On behalf of the general public, I would like to ask the government why do we announce such schemes when we do not have the basic infrastructure to help those for whom these schemes are being launched? I know I’ll not get any reply, but I really want to know when will our governments or public sector offices start working in an efficient manner?

Why don’t we privatise our post offices, banks or such other public sector organisations which have been operating highly inefficiently for years and years now? If we cannot privatise these organisations due to political compulsions, why don’t we make them improve their efficiency levels?

Yesterday I posted various salient features of this scheme and today I received a few emails asking for the list of banks where this account can be opened. I also got queries asking for the application form to open an account. Here is the extract of one such mail.

Hello Mr. Kukreja,

I just read your article and your views over Pradhanmantri Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. It was fabulous to read. Very clear and understanding information.

Actually i need a help or say favour from you. Am trying to get the Account Opening Form of above said scheme, but i didnt find any. Could you pls mail me the form of the same, so that without wasting any time i can proceed with the investment.

If you say that, collect from the post at nearby my residence, well sir i have inquired but they have none.

So its a kind request to you.

Overall thanks once again for your information and guidance.

Application Form for opening a Sukanya Samriddhi Account in a Post Office

To open an account under this scheme, the application form is still not available on the website of India Post. However, you can use this application form for getting your account opened with any of the post offices. I have downloaded this form from the website of India Post itself. Though this application form is still not updated, with ‘SSA’ missing on the top of this form, I have been told that the post offices will not refuse to accept this form.

However, here is one more link to the application form with which you can download the updated application form.

You can also print the application form from this circular of the Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications & IT, dated January 21, 2015. This circular also has the Notification No. G.S.R. 863(E) dated December 2, 2014, having all the rules & regulations of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. This circular has the application form on the 9th page.

List of Banks which have been authorised to open Sukanya Samriddhi Account

Here is the list of scheduled commercial banks which have been authorised to open accounts under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana:

* State Bank of India (SBI)

* Bank of Baroda (BoB)

* Punjab National Bank (PNB) – Website Link – Contact No. – 011-25744370

* Bank of India (BoI)

* Canara Bank

* UCO Bank

* United Bank of India

* Andhra Bank

* Allahabad Bank

* Indian Bank

* Corporation Bank

* Central Bank of India

* IDBI Bank

* Dena Bank 

Once these banks upload the application form on their respective websites, I’ll share the links to their forms in front of their names.

I am sure many of you must be facing difficulties in getting the required information about this scheme and also you would be in a hurry to open this account before the financial year ends. I would advise you to approach post offices as of now because some of the banks will take their own sweet time to get their branch personnel updated. I am sure you will get the option to migrate to the bank of your choice at a later date.

If you get any useful info/link regarding this scheme or have any of your good/bad experiences or any query, please share it all here.

  1. Nice information Shiv,

    I think for Banks all branches will not get the forms to open this scheme. Means in every city there will be some dedicated branches will only operate Sukanya Samriddhi Account. Do you have any information regarding this?

    Although I have visited Andhra Bank and HDFC bank in Hyderabad, but they have no updated information. In post office people are very cool and relaxing attitude. They gave me the old account opening form only. When I asked them they said one can open SSA with that form also.

    1. Thanks Santanu,
      Yes, you are right, all branches of these banks will not be accepting these deposits. But, I’ve no info regarding those branches which would be accepting these deposits. I don’t think HDFC Bank would be interested in servicing this scheme, but Andhra Bank should accept these deposits at some later date. Post Offices need to upgrade their personnel and infrastructure. There is huge potential these post offices have.

      1. Dear Shiv

        I have approached SBI, PNB, BOB but there is no update on opening of account.

        Regards
        Piyush

        1. Dear Piyush,
          I know there is no info these banks have as yet. They’ll take their own sweet time to get their staffs updated. Just relax and wait for the things to settle down. You’ll easily be able to open this account in a few days time.

  2. Dear sir,
    Spouse We are regular paid 1000/- 14 year aftar 21 year how many rupees collect of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.

    8059353565

    1. Dear Rajesh,
      It is not possible to calculate the maturity amount in this manner as it’ll really depend on the rate of interest and time of your investment every year. But, based on certain assumptions and 9.1% rate of interest, it should be Rs. 52,605 after 21 years.

  3. Today I gone to draw sukanya yojana account but officer said that come on Monday( post office chimur )pin 442903 they are not interested and trouble the people.

    1. Mr. Finance Minister, are you listening to these guys? Post Office officials need to change their attitude towards client servicing or they will lose out all their business to private sector banks/courier companies/mutual funds in the next few years.

  4. Dear Shiv,
    Is this scheme applicable only for 5 years Child or below 5years can also apply for the same? What is the minimum age limit for applying this scheme?

    1. Dear Jitender,
      You can open this account in the name of a new born baby girl as well, there is no mention of 5 years of age. The age limit also is 10 years and not 5 years. As the scheme has just started, one year grace period has also been given which makes it 10 + 1 = 11 years. You can open this account in the name of a girl child who is born on or after December 2, 2003.

  5. Good article. But then, when nobody knows how to open an account, what is the use? Post offices are a strict no,no. Online facility is not there. For each transaction one needs to go twice. Staff is rude.

    1. Thanks!
      We all know how our post offices/public sector banks work. Nobody can do anything about it. But, I think we all should also be sensible. Why do all of us want to open the account today itself? Why not wait for a few more days for the things to settle down? Why not wait for the next financial year’s interest rates to get announced? Post office & public sector bank staff has always been rude to its customers. The government needs to do something about it.

  6. Today I visit the Indian bank and corporation bank phillaur branch but they day we not know about sukanya suraksha yojna and they not opened my girl account.why central govt and banks haras the customers.Thanks

  7. Dear Mr. Kukreja,

    Just want to know, in case of death of depositor (Parents Or Guardian), what will happened…..?

  8. Sir,

    I find your articles really good cos it’s simple n sensible. I want to know if the name of the baby is mandatory as she is an infant. And also notify me if any other good saving schemes are available

    Regards
    Nuthan

  9. Can NRI invest in the scheme for their daughters and also can the investment be done from NRI account.

    1. Hi Mahesh,
      It is still not clear whether NRIs can invest in this scheme or not. As NRI investment is not allowed in PPF, I am assuming that the government will not allow it for this scheme as well. So, you’ll have to wait some more time for further clarity.

          1. Grand Parents have to be legal guardian to open this account. It seems difficult to open an account for the girl child in this case, but you’ll have to wait some more time to get clarity on this.

  10. Thanks Sir…… but again i have a dought….. my daughter age is 8yrs. Now, if I opt this scheme now & after 4 years when my daughter age is 12 which is underage & some misappening is happened with me. Than what…..?
    As thair is no nomination & other facelity

    1. Under such kind of special circumstances, legal guardian of the child would be required to make a request to prematurely close the account and withdraw the amount. Some legal formalities would be required like producing death certificate etc.

  11. I visited pnb and SBI on 1st march 2015 when i asked for sukanya account the bankers said what is it we do not have any information regarding this.

  12. sir i get the message from facebook., is that correct or wrong (((Important msg for those who have

    1. Hi Aswin,
      Majority of this information is correct. For correct & comprehensive information, please read the written article above. If you still have any queries after reading this article, please let me know.

  13. Hi shiv
    Am a mother of cp child i want to open this account to keep my kid insafe firstly i would like thank from my bottom of my heart to our prime minister for introducing such scheme .if we get it as early as possible means we like below middle class people feel happy about our kids future so please kindly help me to open this account with clear steps .
    Thank you and your replies are good

    1. Hi Divya,
      First of all, sorry to know about your child! I am sure she must be a special one, God gifted!

      Moreover, I would like you to visit this post as well – https://www.onemint.com/2015/03/03/sukanya-samriddhi-yojana-tax-free-small-savings-scheme-for-a-girl-child/

      It has all the details about this scheme. Also, most of the banks/post office branches still do not have the complete details about the scheme. So, please wait for a few more days for the banks to get their staff updated and then you can approach any of your nearby bank branches or post offices to get this account opened. You just need birth certificate of your child and your identity proof & residence proof to get this account opened.

    1. monthly 1000 rs need to pay but not mandatory. but in the year u have to pay 1000 followed by 100 rs per month also acceptable.

  14. Hi Shiv,

    I am mother of a five year old special kid. My daughter was born abroad when I was doing my higher studies there. So her nationality is not Indian. Because of her health conditions we are now in India and she has a PIO card as both of her parents are indian citizens. I was wondering if I can apply for sukanya samrudhi account for her. I checked RBI website and it says PIO card holders are eligible for post office savings and some other kind of bank accounts as well. But since this is a new scheme I would really appreciate if you can give me a clarification on this.

    Many Thanks,

    L-

    1. Hi Lekshya,
      I don’t want to tell you something which I myself don’t know for sure. It is still not clear whether NRIs/OCIs/PIOs can invest in this scheme or not. You’ll have to wait for further clarity in this matter.

  15. hello sir
    pls let me know whether monthly deposits can be made from the salary itself since i m employed in State govt

    1. Hi Uma,
      I don’t think this scheme will operate in this manner and allow you to get the amount deducted from your salary itself. However, you are allowed to deposit any amount of your choice yourself every month in this scheme.

  16. hello sir,
    i wanted to know that can i fill this form for my niece as she stays with us and her parents stay in village. so can i apply for this scheme …do reply

  17. Que-Is This scheme is ending on March 31 or we can start investing from next financial year.please reply

  18. F Y 14-15 ke liye age limit 10 year aur 1 year grace hai. Kya agale F Y me ye age bar change ho jayega ?

  19. Dear Sir,
    I have got the message from one of my close friend on whatsup. But I am not clear on the issues-
    (i) how much my daughter will get after maturity if I go with Rs 100/1000 per month ?
    (ii) If I open the account at Mumbai, then can I operate it from another area, if my residence has been changed , means on maturity where should I visit for claiming my amount..?
    (iii) I have visited 02 post offices today, one of them told since now they are not having such facility, while another was not taking any interest in this regard.
    (iv) who can clarify all the doubts and can well explain about the scheme?
    Plz help me out, I am much interested about the plan for my daughter aged 04 yrs at this time.

    Thanking u in anticipation and needful please.

    1. Hi Vikash,
      1. Assuming 9.1% rate of interest for 21 years, the maturity amount would be Rs. 52,605.
      2. You can migrate your account to any city in case you change your city of work.
      3. Banks/Post Offices are still not updated with the scheme, so please wait for a few more days for them to get updated.
      4. Please check this post, I think it will help you understand this scheme in a better way – https://www.onemint.com/2015/03/03/sukanya-samriddhi-yojana-tax-free-small-savings-scheme-for-a-girl-child/

    1. Thanks Rahul,
      1. Yes, she is eligible to open this account.
      2. The interest will get compounded and is payable on maturity along with your principal amount.
      3. Only if you are her legal guardian.
      4. You can submit form in the post office or authorised bank branches.
      5. Only one account can be opened in a girl child’s name.

      1. Thanks for the immediate response

        One point is still not cleared

        Mode of payment I mean how I need to invest money via: online, cash, cheque, etc.

  21. Hello shiv

  22. Hi,
    Our daughter is born abroad. Its been more than 5 years since we returned back and we are now residents of India with OCI card. Can you please inform if we are eligible for sukanya samruddhi account? We plan to live and retire in India.
    Thanks,
    Prasanna

  23. Sir, i am living in mumbai. My mother enquired about this in my native place(kerala) so they were aware about this and give right directions … It requires baby’s birth certificate and adar card of the guardian and 3 pp photos. So as a grand mother she can open this account for my daughter..

    And my question is, can i send money on this account from my sb account directly via ebanking or by cheques ? Pls help me with the possible easiest transfer method..!

    1. Hi Justin,
      Thanks a lot for providing info about photos & Aadhaar Card! Moreover, I think e-banking facility is not there as yet, so you can either send cheques to your native place or your mother can deposit cash also in the post office/bank branch.

  28. I call to SBM Rajarajeshwari Nagar Branchn Bangalore and Vijaya Bank-Trinity Circle Branch on 6th march 15 when i asked for sukanya a/c the bankers said what is it we do not have any information & notification regarding this.

  29. Dear
    I have seen in website that some of nationalize banks are also opening that account. But today i asked in SBI, they said not yet received any information.

  30. Shiv Sir,
    Kindly confirm about the deposit amount 1000/-rs in a month or in a year (Annually).

  31. Sir
    Please clarify on the following 2 doubts..
    *After operating the SSA in the Post Office for some time, can the accounts be transfered to public sector banks?
    * Will online payments of savings be available in post office as well as in the banks?

    1. Hi,
      1. Yes, you can transfer your SSA account from post office to some other authorised bank branch.
      2. I don’t think online payment system is there in the post office, but I am sure it will be made available with other authorised banks.

    1. Sunilji, maturity amount & 9.1% rate of interest fix nahin hai. But, based on certain assumptions and 9.1% rate of interest, aapko 21 saal baad approximately Rs. 6,31,260 mil sakte hain.

  32. Dear Shiv, I have two questions in my mind. 1.Simply where I have to go to open this account. 2. If I will deposit 1000 rs per year total amount is rs 21000 in 21 yrs, how much amt we will get after 21 yrs.

    1. 1. You can get this account opened either in a post office or an authorised bank branch. 2. You need to deposit a minimum of Rs. 1,000 every year for 14 years only (and not 21 years). Based on certain assumptions and 9.1% rate of interest, the maturity amount should approximately be Rs. 52,605 after 21 years.

  33. Dear sir
    My baby born at feb 2015 she has completed one month now.can I opened her account in sukanya samridhi yojna

  34. Sir,
    Mai har mahine 1000rs deposit karta hoon 21 sall tak to mujhe meri bati abhi 2.5 year k hai to kitna amount milegna.
    vinay kumar
    gurgaon

    1. Vinayji,
      har mahine 1000 Rs jama karna zaroori nahin hai. Aap apni sahuliyat se jama kara sakte hain. Min deposit saal mein Rs 1000 hona zarorri hai.
      Agar aap 1000Rs monthly jama karata hain 14 saal tak to 21 saal baad aapki beti ko approximately 6 laks (607,128 ) milega.
      Approximately isliye kyonki Govt har saal interest rate change kar sakti hai..Abhi 9.1% hai.

    1. Dharamveerji,
      500 Rs monthly 14 saal tak jama karane par aapki beti ko 21 saal baad lagbhag 3 lakh 303,564.
      Par har mahine 500 Rs jama karna zaroori nahin hai. Aap apni sahuliyat se jama kara sakte hain. Min deposit saal mein Rs 1000 hona zarorri hai.

    Good Morning, I thank you very much for your efforts in improving financial literacy for the people of India.

    I would liket o have clarification on few points wrt SSA as per the wordings mentioed in Notification.

    1- “Deposits in an account may be made till completeion of fourteen years, form the date of opening of the account. ”
    My daughter has completed six yeras it means i can deposit the amount till she complete 20 (14 +6) years of age. It means If I will open account in April 2015, I can deposit till Mar 2029. It does not have any relation to the completeion of 14 years of age of my daughter.

    2- “The account shall mature on completion of twenty one years from date of opening of the account. ”
    It means If I will open account in April 2015 the account will mature in Mar 2036. It does not have any relation to the completeion of 21 years of age of my daughter.

    Plz clarify.
    Regards
    Piyush

    1. Thanks a lot Piyush for your kind words! 🙂
      1. Yes, that is correct.
      2. Yes, that is also correct. But, you’ll have to compulsorily withdraw the whole balance and close the account as & when your daughter gets married.

  54. Sir,

    PNB , BOB, SBI even Canara bank have denied that they have authorized to open the SSA account in their any branch.

    Regards
    Deepmala verma

    1. Thanks Deepmala for this info! Probably these banks don’t have the required info as yet. Let us wait for some more days to get further clarity on this matter.

      1. I just spoke to my bank (Bank Of Baroda) in Pune. It’s very irritating to note that even they don’t have any information whatsoever about it. Very upset with the same. The Bank Manager tells me “Sir, jab hamare pass information aayegi…. hum wide spread publicity karenge na! Tab tak aap wait kijiye please.!”

        1. 🙂 Nobody can do anything about it, we should just wait for it patiently. As and when the scheme gets available with these banks, we’ll get to know about it through newspapers, TV or internet.

          1. Even IDBI call center has denied. I have opened account in Post Office and to my utter surprise they were very helpful and it took just five minutes.
            The passbooks are still not available with them and they called me later in two weeks.
            All you need is Birth Certificate, ID Proof, Address proof and two photograph of parent/gardian operating the account.
            Kalamboli (Raigarh- Navi Mumbai) Post office seripously rocks.
            The guy even gave me English form, saying if cannot understand Hindi, but being I was more than confortable with my Rastra Bhasha.

  55. I did visited the post office and SBI both on 6th Mar 2015 as I too was eager to open this account within this financial year. They are aware of scheme but saying that no information came to them so that public can open the account immediately. Nor they know by when it would come. I think it would come only in next financial year.

    1. The scheme already got notified in January, budget has just made its interest income tax-free. So, I think at least post offices should not give such kind of explanations.

  56. If I deposit 1000/- rupees per month. So after 21years my child how much money gain. Please tell me sir.

  57. Sir my doughter 3 years old, i want to open sukany sumruddi scheme please. help me regading this can availe tax binifits.
    i am planinig for 5000 per month please guide me how much amount i will get after meturity.

  58. Meri beti 8 sal ki hai keya me is yojna me acount khol sakta hu agar haa to kitna pessa per year jama karna hoga aur 21 year me kitna melega thanks

  59. sir good after noon
    sir My daughter is birth 05.08.2004. Sir can I open SSA account in post office pls tell me sir pls.

  60. Sir,

    During the time of maturity if the girl child attains foriegn nationality then will the girl/parent get the whole amount still.

  61. Dear sir

    pls tell me what are the steps of an opeing of sukanya samruddi yojana account.

    Thanks/Regards

    1. Hi Raghavendra,
      You need to approach the nearest post office with the application form, birth certificate of the child and residence & id proof of the guardian to open the account. Rest of the procedure will be explained by the post office officials as they start accepting these forms.

  62. Dear Sir,

    My few questions below (if i open account in Post Office):

    1) Mode of payment (DD/Cheque/Cheque) when i deposit the amount?
    2) Can i deposit the amount from any post-office or from the dedicated PO in city?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Pawan

  63. Sir meri beti 6 year ki hain Is yozna ke anusar 14year tak paisa jama karna hain aur iska maturity period 21 year ka hain sir main 2000 p.m.jama karne par 21 year me kitna amout milega

      1. Hi,

        I think one more factor that strongly plays a key role is when the time of the month when you are depositing the amount. I am sure not everyone will be able to deposit the maximum limit amount at the beginning of the year. I guess in that case, if someone deposits the amount on installment basis throughout the year, then the interest amount may just be marginally lower. Your thoughts on the same?

        2nd point: A very good idea is to invest in Sukanya Samriddhi plan and also open a PPF Account for the child. This way you can reap maximum benefits. 🙂 🙂

        1. Hi Kapil,
          1. I completely agree with you on this.
          2. I agree with you on this. I think one should also go for equity mutual fund SIPs to reap maximum benefits. 🙂

  64. Dear Shri Kukreja,
    It is wrong to blame Govt. Would private banks or institutions would do better. I got application form from Head Post office at Delhi. The post master explained me details as well. He was very cooperative.

    1. Hi Mr. Rakesh,
      You are the first person on this post who has praised either the post office guys or bank officials and you know I am really happy to know that you got the required help from somebody there. Honestly speaking, I want our post offices or the public sector banks to be highly efficient, in fact equally efficient as the private sector banks are.

      But, I think you have not seen how public sector bank employees or post office officials deal with the general public. I am not saying all officials are rude, there are very efficient officials as well and very cooperative, but majority of them are not. Just wanted to know have you been able to open an account?

  65. My experience with the private institutes are no better. In fact I could get an application form from Head Post office at Patel Chowk, New Delhi. Mr Roop Chandra the Head Post master was very cooperative .

  66. I am NRI. I would appreciate if you could answer belown asked questions ASAP.

    Am I eligible to open an account for my 10 year old daughter?
    If yes, what documents do I need to provide?
    Can I open this account online?
    Can grand-parents of my daughter open account for her?

    Thanks,
    -Vijay

  67. Dear sir

    I have visited to our local post office I have got the ssy form while submitting the form in post they asked me aadhar card.AS I have read in the instructions of ssy schme in there I think anywhere it is not mentioned that aadhar is needed I was having e-aadhar they told me it is not acceptable then I have state bank of india. Bank of india there I come to know that nobody is having the information of the ssy scheme in state bank when I asked to branch manager exactly he was also not knowing then I opened the ssy scheme from my mobile Internet and showed that your bank name is there
    What I want to say is take some necessary action because lot many peole are interested for this
    Thanking you
    regards sushant

    1. Thanks Sushant,
      I know a lot many people are interested in this scheme. I hope the government will take quick actions to disseminate the required info to the public sector banks.

  68. Good Morning
    my daughters age is 4 years,for 1000/rs every month in a year after 21 years how much i will get.plz confrom

  69. I have 4 1/2 year girl child. In the first year, if we are depositing Rs. 1.5 lac and for the rest of 13 years we will deposit Rs. 5000 per year, then how much amount we will get after maturity i.e 21 years.

    Please clarify.

  70. Sir, When I heard abt. SSY I tried at posts office. But no response. Can somebody pls tell when SSY form/link available

  71. Sir,
    I have approached post master about this account, he is asking aadhar card.my baby is just 11 months old.Is it mandatory to have aadhar card for this account. I have read that date of birth certificate is enough and parent’s address proof is needed for this account. But they are asking aadhar card to open this account.clarify my doubt as soon as possible.

    1. Hi Sandhya,
      I don’t think the girl child’s UIDAI Aadhaar Card is mandatory to open this account. Even if they are insisting for a Aadhaar Card, you can provide the guardian’s Aadhaar Card. Even then if they don’t open the account, then I think you should wait for a few more days to get clarity in this matter.

        1. Hi Ankit,
          As per the wordings of the Circular – “the total money deposited in an account on a single occasion or on multiple occasions shall not exceed one lakh fifty thousand rupees in a financial year”. At the same time, two accounts can also be opened. So, I think one can contribute a total of Rs. 3 lakh in two accounts. I think we will get further clarity on this in a few days time.

  72. 1) Sir please let us know when you get to know if any of the PSU banks are providing this forms
    2) Secondly when is the last date to enroll in this scheme
    3) If we get enrolled in the nearest post office today, tomorrow will there be a option for people to shift to a PSU banks
    4) Have you come across any information regarding online payment for this scheme

    1. Hi Anil,
      1. It really depends on the authorised banks how soon they make their forms available. It is not in our hands.
      2. There is no last date for this scheme.
      3. Yes, there will be an option to migrate your account to an authorised bank.
      4. No info as yet about online payment facility.

  73. i think some mistake your calculator just like when i invest a 1000 per year then the interest was 9.10 then the money is 1091
    now when i am deposit per month 100 rs then the total amount was 1200
    interest was 9.10 then total amount was 1259 how ?

      1. according to your calculator when i am deposit 6000 per year then the total amount was 3,15,630 found

        when i am deposit 500 per month then total amount was 1 year is 6000then the total amount 3,12,652 found
        why amount is differ each other

        1. The calculation in the table is correct. In monthly option, you’ll get interest on your monthly deposit. In lumpsum deposit, interest will be calculated on the whole amount for the whole year.

  74. I went to the nearby post office to my house and found that most of the Post offices are migrating to Core Banking and no new accounts are being opened till 1st April. Alternatively, I went to SBI Branch near to my house and Bangalore Main Branch, they told to visit after 1st week of Apr. So I intend to open the account but not getting any proper direction.

  75. Sir,
    Would like to know if NRIs can open this account. My sister with her family is abroad working there. Can she open an account for her daughter or me open an account for my niece as a guardian.

    Thanking you in anticipation, look forward to receive your reply.

    With kind regards
    Sherine

    1. Hi Sherine,
      It is still not clear whether NRIs would be allowed to invest in this scheme or not. I’ll update it here whenever there is clarity regarding the same.

  76. @Sherine,

    If your are filing your income tax in India you can surely invest and claim benefit. also for the better future of your daughter as well you can invest.

  79. Sir I have a question that if any one open this scheme and unfortunately girl child parents died or any one of them died then there is necessary to deposit money in scheme. what are the benefits to girl child.
    Please tell.

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Rajesh,
      You can make a request to prematurely close the account and withdraw the amount under special circumstances, like death or medical support in life-threatening diseases etc.

  80. Hi,
    Can NRI open this account (SSY) in India…Secondly I asked SBI ,they have no any information about this…

    Pls advice
    Regards..

    Chandra

  81. Its pathetic that the Banks do not have any information yet about this account ! Atleast they should be given with some information as to whats the timeline they shall have this available – but surprisingly the Bank managers are clueless about this account 100%. Very Bad organising. If they are not ready to roll out then why send out the communication! – Isn’t these basic common sense!

  82. Hi Shiv ji

    There is a confusion in the investment period. Is it 14 years from the time of account opening or is it till 14 years of girl age?
    When my friend enquired in post office about his daughter who is 9 years now, they told he can invest for next 5 years only.
    Please clarify.

      1. Thanks Shiv ji.
        I am planning to visit Andhra Bank to open this account. I hope bank has all details required.

  83. Hello All,
    Most of the nationalised banks are still not prepared for this new account yet as SSA account is not created/configured in Finacle or any other Core Banking Product yet. I got this update from SBI, Canara and Corp Bank. Probably from 1st week of Apr all the intended banks shall start advertising the same n then we can invest.

  84. Hi
    Meri bhatiji 7 year ki HAI but uski mummy ki dath ho gai hai or uske papa ki mansik halat Bhabi ki dath k baad thik nhi puri jimedari me or mere papa utha rahe hai par jab post office me gye to in logo ne meri bhatiji ka form bharne se mana kar diya agar kisi bachhi k parents nhi hai to kya vo bachhi is yojna ka labh nhi le payegi ye konsa kanun hai

    1. Koi bhi legal guardian aapki bhatiji ka account khulwa sakta hai. Agar post office account kholne se mana karta hai, to aap head postmaster ko complaint kar sakte ho.

  85. Dear Mr Kukreja,
    I want to open SSA for my daughter, she is 9 yrs old. Kindly give clarity on below points:
    1. If I open account in this march with 50k, will I get the interest for this financial year 2014-15 on 50k
    2. As no bank has any information about this scheme can I migrate this account from post office to SBI.
    3. As my daughter is 9 yrs old and according to the scheme we have to deposit till 14 yrs and by the time account will mature she will be 30 yrs. If she gets married before that time can we withdraw the whole amount.

    Regards,
    Tahir Saifi

    1. Dear Mr. Tahir,
      1. It is still not clear how the interest would get calculated in this scheme. But, assuming interest calculation is like PPF, you would not get any interest for the month of March.
      2. Yes, you can migrate this account later on from post office to an authorised bank branch.
      3. It is mandatory to withdraw the amount and close this account whenever your daughter gets married, whether she gets married at the age of 19 or 22 or 25 or any other age, but not beyond 21 years from the date of account opening.

  89. Meri 3 betiya h jinki age 4years; 6years; 9years h hum up ke h agar hum 3000 per month jama karte h to mume kitna melega

  90. Sir
    In the SSA openning form, serial no. 9 (ii) Date of majority. What does that mean? Majority or maturity? Plz clarify on that.

    1. It is the Date of Majority. As it is a common application form for various Post Office scheme like MIS, RD, TD etc., there is separate space for a minor’s details. But, as SSA is a scheme for minors only, it will be applicable for all. Date of Majority will be 18 years from the Date of Birth.

  91. Dear Kukreja ji
    visited state bank of india rohini sector-18 delhi branch today for opening of account under the above scheme for my daughter and the bank tells me that they have not received information as to how to open account under this scheme.
    any advice as to how to open the account in the bank
    or any redressal mechanism.
    thanks for the nice article
    regards
    dr manoj

    1. Thanks Dr. Manoj,
      I think you have two options, either wait for the banks to start opening these accounts or open an account with a post office right now and later on migrate it to a bank. So, if you are in a real hurry to open this account, opt for the second option.

      1. thanks kukreja ji for your reply
        i will wait for the bank to start opening accounts.
        however i also wrote email to cabinet ministe menaka ji through official website of ministry of women and child development citing difficulties faced by common people like us.
        ground work by ministries need to be done placing standard operation procedure before making announcement.
        i can sending you a copy on your email address [email protected]
        thanks again

    Can we deposit each 1.5 lacs per annum for both my daughters so intotal 3 lacs per annum for both the childs. Or is it 1.5 lacs per family?

    Pavan

    1. Hi Pavan,

  139. I hv gt a form from post office in karkardooma… Bt its a different form which is dere in the net.. I m confused n i dnt knw hw to fill it

  140. Dear Sir,

    The clause about ’14 years’ is not clear. Is it that we can invest till the girl attains 14 years of age or we can invest for 14 years from the date of opening the account.

    And what if the girl child is 10 years old when opening the account? Can we invest 5 years only or till she attains 21?

    Regards,
    Swaminathan

    1. Hi Swaminathan,
      14 years or 21 years has nothing to do with the age of the girl child. You need to invest for 14 years from the date of opening this account. Similarly, you can withdraw the balance amount after 21 years from the date of opening this account or whenever your daughter gets married, whichever is earlier.

  141. Dear Sir,

    My daughter’s date of birth is 04-10-2012. Is her applicable for Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana? Can i open the a/c her name in SBI. Please let us know your feedback.

  142. Hi, Sir
    Mujhe iss ki clarification chahiye ki Hmara paisa bank ya post office kaha par inveSt karegi aur Hmara paisa save h iski kya guarantee.

  143. Hello Mr. Kukreja, I want to know if my daughter is eligible for this scheme. She was born in US (2012) so she is a US citizen and has a US passport. I am not a US citizen and still holds an Indian passport. I have her US birth certificate. Can I open an account for her? I am struggling to get this answer since several days now but no one has answered it. Also I want to know if she marries/studies in US after 21 years will she still be able to get the maturity amount? I will really appreciate if you can answer my questions. Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Gaurav,
      Though it is still not clear whether NRIs or foreign citizens are eligible for this scheme or not, I think it is most likely that they will not be eligible for it as most of the Post Office small savings schemes don’t allow NRIs to invest. But, still you’ll have to wait for some more time for further clarity in this matter.

      1. Hello Mr. Kukreja,
        Thanks for your prompt reply. I wish she was eligible, but still I will wait and see if there can be some exception made for NRI’s. If you get any further information on this, please reply to me. I really appreciate it. Thanks!

  144. Sir

  145. Hello sir
    Can I get tax benefits for year 2014-15 if deposited in Sukanya Samridhi Yojana account before 31 March 2015 under section 80C ?

  146. Hello Sir, the details given by u are very simple and understandable. Today I’d been to the post office to get the form, but in the form , there was no option of SSA given in the type of account. Is it okay to fill in the same form and will it be valid?
    Expecting your reply.
    Thank You.

    1. Thanks Divya,
      Yes, it is perfectly fine to fill the form given to you by the post office staff. Its just that they are using their old stationery for this scheme till date and they don’t have new forms printed with them. You need not worry about that, go ahead and use that form to invest in this scheme.

  147. Hello
    Mr Kukreja,
    My name is Ganesh from Mumbai.
    There are few questions wanted to know
    1)can be deposit fluctuate amt in a year?
    2) If i open the account of my daughter can I put her mother’s name as a nominee?
    3) My Daughter is of two months now is it a right time for this plan?
    4) Compare to any LIC plan…..Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana” is the best?
    5) Is there any hidden terms & conditions?

    1. Hi Ganesh,
      1. Yes, it can be any amount between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,50,000.
      2. Nomination facility is not there with this scheme.
      3. I don’t know what do you mean by the right time to invest for a 2 month old daughter, but you can invest in your daughter’s name even if she is 2 months old.
      4. I don’t want to compare an investment scheme with an insurance product. But, I think this scheme is quite superior to any insurance product which has investment component attached to it.
      5. I don’t think there are any hidden terms & conditions in this scheme.

  148. hello sir,

    Is there any govt official document which shows savings under SSY is exempted from tax under section 80c ? Today I had inquired about it in post office, postal officials say they have also not seen any such document and therefore can’t comment about relief under section 80c

  177. Sir,

    i am a bit confused about the entire doc process. i have gone to PO & opened the SSA for my girl kid along with my id/address proof & daughters birth certificate. the form wasnt the same as the regulator says nor is the pass book. though PO savings pass book says SSA written by the officer there

    is my investment at stake for any problem in future ? also can i shift the same account to any authorized bank? if yes how should i go about it?

    look fwd to your inputs/guidance

    rgds
    vini

    1. Hi Vini,
      There is no risk to your investment and it is 100% safe. It is just that post offices are using their old stationery for opening these accounts. You can always migrate your account to a bank branch once they start opening these accounts. The procedure you need to check with the post office guys.

  178. I was visit State Bank Of India Nirman Bhawan New Delhi . I was surprise there is no information about Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana by the bank

  179. I have opened the suknya yojana my child was 8 years how its help in future after the complication how much amount I have receive if I am pay per month 1000Rs

  180. Regarding opening of account with bank, I got a reply from bank that all the branches are not entitled to open account but only selected branches. Still they do not know which are the branches.

    1. Most of the banks are still not unaware about the branches which are opening these accounts. So, you’ll have to wait some more time for further clarity about the branches.

  181. I am from mumbai I have call few banks they say tat they have not received d form could u please tell me which bank have d form thx

    1. Hi Divya,
      We do not have this info as which banks have started opening these accounts and giving application forms. As & when we have this info, I’ll share it here.

  187. Sir,
    I am a branch post master
    My questions are
    1. Ssa maturity kisko milega- girl or parent?
    2. Girl ki sadi age18 years ki bad hone per ac bandh ho jaega lekin maturity kab milega?
    3. Agar girl ki sadi parents ki morji ki khilap age 18 years ki pehele ho jae tab ac ki position kia hoga?

    1. Hi Animesh,
      1. Girl child is the ultimate beneficiary of this account, so maturity amount girl child ko hi milega.
      2. Maturity amount bhi shaadi hone pe mil jaayega.
      3. 18 saal se pehle shaadi gair-kanooni hai, isliye 18 saal se pehle amount withdraw nahin hoga.

  188. Till How many years i should pay? Is it 14 Yrs from the first payment or till 21 yrs of the Girl Child? (Considering for a new born girl child)

  189. In the absence of Actual Account Opening holder, Can a nominee or any guardian of the Girl child continue SSY?

  190. Will the Amount gain Interest even after the Maturity period (girl’s age 21Yrs) if i don’t withdraw till the girl’s marriage (ex: girl will get married @25 Yrs)? or I should withdraw after the Maturity period?

  191. eligibility date is 2-12-2003 to 2015

    But, There is no insurance coverage Policy in that SSA

  192. Is there any rules this acc has to be opened before 31/3/15. How much I have to invest monthly if I need min.10 lakh rs at maturity? My daughter’s d.o.b. is 11/12/2009.plz inform immediately.

    1. Hi Niket,
      Pehli baat, ye scheme monthly deposit scheme nahin hai. Doosri baat, aap isme ek saal mein jitne marzi baar aur jitne marzi paise deposit kar sakte ho. Maximum Rs. 1.5 lakh tak.

    1. Hi Deepak, aap apni beti ke naam pe equity mutual funds mein ek monthly SIP karwa sakte hain. Ye aapki beti ke future financial goals mein kaam aayegi. But, dhyan rakhna ki koi insurance agent aapko koi galat insurance plan mein invest na karwa de.

    1. Hi Ritesh,
      50% paisa aap ladki ke 18 saal poore hone pe nikalwa sakte ho, aur shaadi hone pe poora paisa nikalwana hi padega, nahin to koi interest nahin milega uske baad.

    4. When should i open a SSY account of my 3 months old girl baby ?
    thanks a lot.

    1. Hi Kailash,
      1. Personally, I would like to open this account in SBI or Axis Bank as online transfer facility would be there.
      2. Yes, you can do so.
      3. Yes, you can do so.
      4. You may open this account any time you want. I think you should wait for SBI to start opening these accounts.

  209. My daughter is 9 year old. Would I have to pay until her 23rd year..? Then when’d she get the money…? If she marries without my permission… Can I stop her inheritance of money…?

    1. Hi Aparna,
      1. You would be required to pay for your daughter till she attains 23 years of age or till she gets married, whichever is earlier. She would get the money back whenever she gets married or when this account completes 21 years from the date of opening this account, whichever is earlier.
      2. Girl child is the owner of this account, so she has the ultimate authority to withdraw & use this amount as per her wish. It is her money, so you cannot stop her withdrawing her own money.

    Thanks,

    1. Hi Anand,
      It is still not clear whether PIO cardholders would be allowed to open these accounts or not. You’ll have to wait for further clarity on this matter.

  214. how to open this accounts.only post office are any other banks and witch is the last date pls tell me sir..

    1. There is no last date for getting these accounts opened. Post offices/banks are authorised to open these accounts, but banks are still not opening these accounts in the absence of clear directive from the RBI/government.

  215. Hello sir me to SBI Bank me gaya lekin bank manejar ne to mana kar dia kaha ki is bank me nahi hoga

    1. Maheshji, abhi government ne ye clarify nahin kiya hai ki maturity ke time kis document ki zaroorat hogi, but I think birth certificate ki copy aur girl child ka id proof submit karna hoga.

      1. Dear sir,

        My daughter’s age is 8 years 4 months. If i open an account now, after 21 years she will be ~29 years by that time her marriage would also be over. If i want to take money for marriage can i take? or can i take once the money matures. If i take before how much i will get(if i invest 12000/month). Is there will be any money loss.

  221. hello sir,

    what is the procedure for account opening in post office as i don’t see any banks have started with this SSY.
    where do i get the form and what next is to be done. kindly inform.

    1. You need to approach a post office nearest to your area with your daughter’s birth certificate, your id proof, address proof and two photographs. Fill the application form, deposit the money and it is done.

  223. Hello sir… mujhe apni daughter ka account open karwana h bt mere add proof mere mom k ghar k h.. & mera sir name bhi un sabhi doccuments pr pehle wala h.. plz help me…

    1. Hi Preety,
      If you want your new address and surname of your husband to be there in the records of post office, then you’ll have to get it updated in your records as well. There is no solution for that. I think you can get it opened with your maiden surname as well, there should not be a problem with that.

      3. Only under special circumstances, it is possible.
      4. It is not a monthly deposit scheme. You need to deposit a minimum of Rs. 1,000 in a financial year.

  252. Sir,mere beti abhi 10saal ki hai aur mai. 1000 monthly jama karta hoon to ketne saal jama karna hoga aur kitna ssal baat melega

  253. Sir, I see in most of your comments, that marriage is mentioned. what if she decided not to marry, for ever. Is there any clause clarifying on that. what will happen to the account and its money. Pls clarify.

    1. Hi Srinivasan,
      If the girl child decides not to get married, then she has the option to either withdraw the balance at the end of 21 years from the account opening date or extend it indefinitely.

  254. Respected Sir,
    pls clarify my doubts on the below questions……

    1. Sir, I see in most of your comments, that marriage is mentioned as a condition, for withdrawal of money. Also even for 50% partial withdrawal, the girl child should have attained 18 of years. That means , the scheme trying to give more power to the girl child than the investor, himself. Pls Clarify if am wrong ?

    2. what will happen if the scheme attains its maturity of 21 yrs and girl child decided not to marry ? can she or parents free to withdraw the money without the condition of marriage happened or not ? pls clarify

    3. what if the girl child decided not to marry, for ever. Is there any clause clarifying on that. what will happen to the account and its money. Pls clarify.

    4. what if there is a misunderstanding between the parents and girl child, after she attains 18 yrs of age? since she got full control of the account as account holder, she can bypass her parents and take the hard earned money as per her wish ? what is the protection to the investor(parents) here ? pls clarify.

    1. Hi,
      1. You are right. This scheme is for the benefit of girls, so most of the powers have been given to the girls, which I think is perfectly fine.
      2 & 3. If the girl child decides not to get married, then she has the option to either withdraw the balance at the end of 21 years from the account opening date or extend it indefinitely. Most of the powers would be with the girl, not the parents/legal guardian/depositor.
      4. There is no protection clause for the parents in this scheme. The government is not supposed to intervene in a family’s internal matters.

      1. Thanks for your reply .. Sir !
        Then i dont think, it wise, to give total power to girl , for just 0.5% high interest. Girls become more assertive, due to education nowadays, which sometimes go against the PARENTS too. Hence I think, PPT would be better to this scheme. But for namesake we can open a account in this SSY, for now and avoid too much dependence(deposit) on it for the safety of parents, which is more paramount, who is also the depositor here.

  255. Sir namskar
    Sir maine post office me apni beti ka khata khulwa liya h lekin wo ssy me khula h. Kya sukanya dev aur samrdhi yajna ek hi h ya alg alg h. Maine farm me sukanya dev yojna bhara h aur kitab me ssy ki bani h.

    1. Whether this a/c can be transferred to any Post Office from present Post office?
      Whether this payment can be made from any Post Office/Bank other than existing Post Office.

      How many months needed to transfer the account from existing post Office to desired Post Office.

      Whether monthly payment can be remitted through bank/post dated cheque while the depositor on tour.

      On line payment facility available ?

  258. Sir ,someone said that this yogana has no insurance and lic policy table no 830 is better to invest for a child

    1. This is not an insurance policy, so please don’t compare with LIC policy. And regarding future of a child, why you need an insurance for child? You can ask this question to your friend, who told you that.

  259. Sir Gd Morning. My daughter’s DOB is 11.02.04. Hope she is eligible but will it be advisable and beneficial to open an ssy ac in her name? Can it be opened in ICICI bank? I am staying away from my home town, can i open it at my native place?

    1. Yes, your kid is eligible. To open account in bank you have to wait for further updates. And I think you can’t open the account from anywhere. You have to visit your home town and then open the account in your nearest post-office only. Don’t worry I think next time you visit your home, you can plan for this account.

  260. I am opening sukanya samridh yojana account but I know that next premium deposit opening branch other wise any branch of any state.

    1. Hi Rupesh,
      It is not a monthly deposit scheme, so you are not required to deposit money on a monthly basis. But, if you decide to deposit money on a monthly basis, then the amount can be raised or reduced as per your financial comfort. Online payment/ECS facilities are not available currently.

  292. The required application form is not available in many post offices. Wherefrom can I get/download it?

  293. Hi Shiv,

    Is this scheme are available on all branches of SBBJ or any specific branches.
    If it available only in specific branches. How we can find branch details.
    I need details of SBBJ Branch IFSC Code: SBBJ0010121.
    Can I open account with School Records like as marksheets instead of birth certificate.

    1. Hi Pukhraj,
      As of now, I don’t have any idea how to check the list of bank branches which are going to serve investors for this scheme. Also, birth certificate is a mandatory requirement for getting this account opened, so I am not sure whether post offices or banks would except any other proof as an alternate.

  294. Hello Mr. Kukreja,
    Thanks for providing important information about ‘SSA’.
    I checked with three nationalised banks (including SBI) and none of them have received due directions for opening this account. Either these banks are not interested in promoting this scheme due to some hardship at their end.
    Kindly advise how these banks be convinced to open account.

  295. Hi,
    I want to Account opening in Sukanya Yojana Scheme in bank, but bank told me that their are no circular from RBI.
    So please suggest me.
    I’m waiting for your reply.

  296. MADAM,
    PRIVATE BANKS AND PRIVATE POST OFFICES have only one motto :Make profit in any way.And they have no social resposibilities.If we privatise all our public banking post offices,private banks become an alliance to exploit the conditions and people and also try to influence the government to make policies entirely to help themselves,not people.

    1. Hi Asha,
      Post Office mein ye account khulna shuru ho gaye hain, banks mein account kholne ke liye kuch aur wait karna hoga. Aapki beti ka account khul sakta hai.

  308. Hi Shiv, upon maturity of the scheme (21 yrs) is the girl child’s consent necessary to withdraw the entire amount or the parent / guardian is able to withdraw the amount on their own? Reason I ask this is because so many years down the line I don’t know what influences (husband/In-laws) she may have in her life, however the money that I am investing is my hard earned money. Thanks.

    1. Hi Samrat,
      This scheme is for the girl child and she will be the ultimate beneficiary of this account. She could use the maturity proceeds as per her liking and the parents/guardian will have no say at the time of maturity.

  309. Hi Sir,

        SS Kaintura

        1. Hi Mr. Kaintura,
          A lot of banks, including SBI, PNB, IDBI Bank, Bank of India, have started opening these accounts. Also, it is definitely possible to transfer this account from a post office to any of the participating banks.

  322. Sir can Armed forces people open this account in army post office. Can this account may transfer to civil post office in latter stage.
    Thank u.

    1. Hi Mr. Roy,
      Account SBI mein transfer karna possible hai, but immediately nahin because SBI abhi is account ki services provide nahin kar raha. Also, is account mein ECS facility available nahin hai.

  323. Hi sr suknya samridhe yojana k taht agar parents me ak ka or dono ka or pita ka deth ho jata hai to us sthit me kya hoga ?

    1. Awanishji, depositor ki death hone pe beti ya beti ka koi guardian is account ko continue kar sakta hai. Agar beti account continue na karna chahe to paisa withdraw bhi kar sakti hai.

  324. In SSA account opening application form, can I mention nominee detail? or this field is not applicable?
    What other supporting documents are required to open this account?

    1. Nomination facility is not there in this scheme. You need to provide girl child’s birth certificate and one id proof & one address proof of the parents/guardian.

  325. Sir,
    Suppose I decided that,I want to deposit 150000 per year. Tell me which one is better option:
    1) I deposit 150000 at a time that means i deposit early date of financial year or end of financial year.
    2) I deposit 12500 in each months from opening the account up to 14 years.

  326. Sir,

    savitha..

  328. Hi Sir Jo logh means Indians bahar rahathe hai Forign country me rahathe hai. Un logonka beti ko a/c yaha open kar sakthe hai . kaise?

  329. Dear Mr. Shiv,

    Do we sooner or later expect the ECS facility with this scheme when accounts is in bank?

    1. I cannot predict this Mr. Roopesh. PPF is a decades old scheme, but still ECS facility is not there. As this scheme is similar to PPF, I don’t think banks would be too keen to provide ECS facility. But, online transfer facility would be provided for sure.

  330. Sir agar post office me account khulwate hai to kya hum account ko ek post office set dusre post office me transfer kar sakte hai ya phi kya online payment kar sakte hai

  331. Dear sir. Please explain me. I listened that regarding sukaniy yo jana that, suppose I countnied for 10 year with monthly deposit of 1000 . After 10 year by any case if I discontinue this scheme then any back charge like penalty will charged. And money will deduct from our deposit. If deducted then how much it will. Please clarify me.

    1. Hi Mr. Surendra,
      If you stop depositing money after 10 years, then a penalty of Rs. 50 per year will be there for every year of non-deposit and this account will remain inactive till you pay the penalty and deposit Rs. 1,000 for each of those years.

  337. State Bank of India has not yet allowed to open sukanya samriddhi account. If I open such an account in a post office and then I want to transfer it to SBI, then will it be viable ? Please answer me.

  338. Can you please let us know if the scheme is applicable for OCI (Overseas citizen of India ) Card holder.

    Thanks In Advance.

    1. Hi Paul,
      It is still not clear whether OCI card holders are eligible for this scheme or not. So, you’ll have to wait some more time for further clarity on this matter.

    1. Hi Vidit,
      We have no idea when Axis or ICICI Bank will start opening these accounts, but PNB has started doing that. So, if you want, you can get it opened in PNB.

  339. Hi,
    Thanks for the great post. I stay in Canada and my daughter was born in Singapore. We hold Indian citizenship, I was wondering can my father open a SSY account for my daughter while we continue to stay outside India.
    Regards

    1. Thanks Akhilesh,
      As it is a small savings scheme, I don’t think NRIs/OCIs would be allowed to open this account. But, at the same time, the government is yet to provide clear info about it. So, you’ll have to wait some more time to have further clarity in this matter.

  340. Sir,

    How about NRI children. My 2 daughter are born after 2009. We are away from our motherland to take care of family and our motherland.
    Please recommend NRI girls also to get chance to do savings under this scheme.

    1. Thanks Gayatri,
      It is still not clear whether NRIs are allowed to get this account opened or not. As it is a small savings scheme, I don’t think they would be allowed to do so. So, you’ll have to wait some more time to have further clarity in this matter.

  341. Dear sir
    Meri beti ka birth 29/11/2004 h

    1. Hi Mr. Raj Kumar,
      Please wait for a few more days for all the banks to start opening these accounts. As most of the banks are just not aware of the guidelines regarding this account, you’ll be troubled by these banks for getting it transferred immediately.

  349. Hi

    Anybody is having information ,SSY account is still not opening in nationalize banks? Did they got any informatiom government to open account? As now is new financial year started.

  350. Hi Shiv Sir,

    Am an IT professional person. I want to open SSA for my daughter, i have following 2 questions:

    Ques 1) Is there any facility to transfer the amount online to post office. Means i dont want to every time go to post office for deposit.

    Ques 2) I have account in SBI-Pune, can i open SSA account in SBI branches, which pune branch support this.

    1. Hi Nilesh,
      1. Post Offices do not provide online transfer facility for this scheme. If you require online transfer facility, then you’ll have to transfer your account from post office to a bank.
      2. I do not have the list of SBI branches which are opening these accounts.

  351. Sir ,
    I have two accounts ( Andhra Bank & Axis Bank ) which are active but not being used other than keeping some amount in it monthly ,can i change either of that to SSA account, or is it that i have to open only in Post Office and then later shift to nationalized banks

    1. Hi Mr. Varma,
      This account will get opened in the name of your daughter, so you’ll have to get a new account opened. You can approach PNB or IDBI Bank to get this account opened.

  352. Hi sir. Mai bihar ka rahne wala hu. Village + post. Barki naini jore. District – buxar. Sir mai past office gaya tha but. Waha to account open nahi kar rahe hai.

    1. Hi Mr. Sunil,
      Ye bohot ajeeb baat hai ki jab baaki saare post offices mein ye accounts khol rahe hain, to aapke district mein ye account kyun nahin khul raha. Aap apne post office ke post master se complaint keejiye, ya phir kisi paas ke bank mein ja ke pata keejiye.

    1. Hi Amit,
      You will have to deposit money in the same post office where you have opened your account. If you want to deposit money in some other post office, then you’ll have to get your account transferred.

    1. Hi Amit,
      It is not possible for the income tax payers or people covered under any other social security scheme to subscribe to Atal Pension Yojana (APY).

  358. Dear sir. Kindly tell me my daughter is 4 years old. I wants to open an ssy account for a month 1000. Then after how many years I need to deposit and when the maturity will done at the same time how much amount will I get.

    1. Post offices do not provide online transfer facility. If you want to open this account in a bank, then you need to check it with the bank whether online transfer facility is provided by them or not.

  359. Sir, I am Tax payer whereas my wife is not. Is it possible to subscribe for Atal Pension Yojana (APY) in the name of my Wife ?

    Thanks ‘n’ Regards,
    SK

    1. Hi SK,
      As per the terms of APY, any citizen of India can subscribe to this scheme. However, if you are a tax payer or covered under any other social security scheme, then the government will not make any contribution to your account.

  360. The scheme Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana – (SSA) is quite Good after my deep study and it’s really a good investment for our daughter future there is no doubt. But only the problem lies is you this has been implemented in Post office that I don’t understand…Ruther its very good to open in a bank. Secondly the mode of payment or deposit is also not good i.e by cash/Cheque/DD which is not an easy task to maintain on monthly basis. As per me ECS facility would be very great and if we link the a bank account since we can sustain punctuality on deposit every month before 5th or some fixed date. If we think practically it will be very difficult to go deposit a fixed amount in SSA account either in post office or bank by standing in a queue every month. Hence the mode of deposit and organization should be improve so that in this current era we can have the facility of internet banking or ECS facility to run this SSA. Till now no bank has implemented this plan ….Request some of you who is having some link to approach in improving the SSA environment will help all the public of our country.

    1. Hi Mr. Gautam,
      This scheme is quite similar to PPF and there is no necessity to deposit money in this account on a monthly basis. You need to deposit money only once a year and it is perfectly fine if you deposit money more than once. ECS facility is not there with PPF account as well. But, as & when most of the banks get fully equipped to serve these accounts, they will definitely offer online transfer facility.

  387. Hi Shiv Sir,
    Should we file RTI in SBI Agra branch to ask that which sbi branch are offer SSY acct and why not they are opening it?? Coz every tym their reply is same that we dont hav any info regarding the same but few days back i read a post on ur blog that sbi at bangalore has started opening ssy acct.

  388. Incase unfortunately the girl child and Gradient both of them died then who get the Amount ?

  389. I opened this account with SBI yesterday. The person at bank was very helpful in creating the account the same day.
    She also informed that the passbook of this is not yet available, the forms being used to fill in the initial amount of Rs. 1000 is through the PPF form since there are no forms for SSS so far.
    Also the understanding is that one has to open the account with Rs. 1000 only first, then put in remaining amount subsequently.
    The returns on this account are to be decided on yearly basis, so it is possible that this interest rate can go down year on year but that is as per policy every year.
    Hope this helps.

  390. Hi Shrikant
    Please inform which SBI Branch in which city are opening these accounts as SBI and Canara bank branch in agra are telling us that they are clueless abt any info on the subjrct.

  391. Hi Shrikant nd Shiv Sir

    Please inform which SBI Branch in which city are opening these accounts as SBI and Canara bank branch in agra are telling us that they are clueless abt any info on the subjrct.

    1. Hi Gagan,
      We do not have information regarding SBI branches which are opening these accounts. But, they are saying all those branches, which accept PPF deposits, will also open SSY accounts.

  392. I have opened Suknaya Samridhi yojna account for my daughter in March 2015.I just want to know after completion of 21 years who will get this money. Me or My Daughter? According to my knowledge my daughter will be owner and all money goes to her.
    Here is my query is that both me and my daughter eqully should be owner at that time.

  393. hello sir,
    if my mother in law and me both want to operate the account in the name of my daughter ,then can we both do it together?

  394. Hi Shiv,
    Is there any such rule that a girl child who already has a PPF Account cannot open a Sukanya Samridhi Account?
    As far as I understand, nowhere under the SSA rules does it state so. However, SBI seems to be suggesting that an individual cannot have two govt. accounts. Though they are a bit unsure yet whether it is a technical glitch in their software or indeed so.
    Any clarity on this, thanks!
    Regards,
    Ashok

  395. Dear Sir,

    Thanks&Regards,

    1. Hi Bhaskaran,
      Girl child can withdraw 100% of the balance amount as she gets married after attaining 18 years of age. As the legal age of marriage is 18 years, balance amount can be used for her marriage.

      3. Yes, it would also be tax-free.
      4. If possible, the girl child or her legal guardian can operate the account. If not, the girl child/legal guardian can withdraw the balance & close the account.

  412. Dear Sir,

    I am depositing money on sukanya samriddhi account but my final credit balance is showing Zero, when i asked about the same to the bank manager he told credit balance will show as zero as it is Govt policy for this scheme, is it correct.

    Regards,
    Krishnendu

  413. Hello Shiv Sir

    With your permission i would like to submit regarding last comment of Krishnendu Ji that since SSA is a minor account under Govt scheme hence online transactions are not allowed (due to non permission of net banking to a minor) Hence, Krishnendu Ji is not able to see the balance online. But you can have the account balance by updating your ssa passbook. I hope this will help. But this is my opinion only.

    1. Hi Shri,
      NRIs are not allowed to open this account. Whether your daughter is eligible for it or not, it depends on her residential status. Since she is outside India for the last two years, she is not a Resident Indian. So, she is not eligible for this account. Moreover, there is no option to submit online application for this account.

    I would like to know that if I can check balance in my SSY account online anywhere. As we know some people specially agent are not submitting amount in policy. And at last when you go for money at maturity then you know they have not submitted your money to policy. Post office also has many private worker they keep change. How we ensure ourselves that our money is going to right place and there is no chance to be cheated.
