Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a government-backed savings scheme designed to encourage long-term savings for a girl child’s education and marriage. The account can be opened in the name of a girl child below the age of 10 years and is operated by a parent or legal guardian.

The scheme offers a fixed, government-declared interest rate, which is compounded annually and is generally higher than traditional bank fixed deposits. Contributions can be made for 15 years, while the account matures 21 years from the date of opening.
