How this works

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is a government small-savings scheme for a girl child, offering a high, tax-free return over the long term.

1

Deposit for 15 years

You add between ₹250 and ₹1,50,000 each year for 15 years from when the account opens. Depositing early in the year lets interest work harder.

2

Interest compounds yearly

The whole running balance earns the government rate (about 8.2%) every year, and that interest is added back to the balance to compound.

3

Matures at 21 years

After the 15 deposit years, the balance keeps growing for 6 more years. The account matures 21 years after opening and the full amount is tax-free.

The rules we apply

Deposit period15 years from opening
Maturity21 years from opening
Yearly deposit₹250 to ₹1,50,000
CompoundingAnnual, on the running balance

Each year we add your deposit (for years 1–15), then apply interest to the whole balance. From year 16 to 21 no deposit is made but the balance continues to compound until maturity.

Worked example

Deposit ₹1,50,000 a year at 8.2%. Over 15 years you invest ₹22,50,000, and by the 21st year it grows to roughly ₹71.8 lakh — the extra (about ₹49.3 lakh) is entirely tax-free interest.

This is an estimate for planning. The government revises the SSY interest rate every quarter, so your actual return will vary as the rate changes over the 21-year term. Confirm the current rate and rules with your post office or bank before investing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I deposit into a Sukanya Samriddhi account?
You make deposits for 15 years from the date the account is opened. After that no further deposits are needed, but the balance keeps earning interest until the account matures 21 years after opening. This calculator applies exactly that rule — 15 deposit years followed by 6 interest-only years.
What is the maximum I can deposit each year?
The maximum is ₹1,50,000 per financial year and the minimum is ₹250. Any amount you enter above ₹1,50,000 is capped, because deposits beyond the ceiling neither earn interest nor qualify for the Section 80C tax deduction.
What interest rate does SSY pay?
The rate is set by the Government of India every quarter and has recently been around 8.2% per year, compounded annually. It is one of the highest small-savings rates. Because the rate can change, this tool lets you edit it — always confirm the current rate at your post office or bank.
When can the girl child use the money?
The account matures 21 years after opening, or on her marriage after age 18 — whichever is earlier. A partial withdrawal of up to 50% of the previous year's balance is allowed once she turns 18 or passes class 10, to help fund higher education.
Is SSY tax-free?
Yes. Sukanya Samriddhi enjoys EEE status — deposits qualify for a Section 80C deduction (up to ₹1,50,000), the interest earned is exempt, and the maturity amount is completely tax-free.
