    Post Office Scheme for Children: The PPF and Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme of the post office have worked immensely for the future of children.

    Post Office Small Savings Scheme for Children

    The Central Government’s Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a very popular scheme, which is being run keeping in mind the safe future of daughters. This account can be opened in the name of daughters below 10 years. At the same time, you should also know that according to the current rules of Public Provident Fund (PPF), you can open a PPF account in the name of your minor.

    Any individual can open a PPF account in the name of his child. Just until the child is 18 years old, the guardian has to look after this account. Both schemes are popular schemes giving better returns in small savings. If you are wondering where there is more beneficial then this report can be useful.

    PPF

    Any individual looking at the future of his child can also open a PPF account in his name. Parents have to take care of the account till the age of 18 years. After 18 years, the child can manage this account himself.

    Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

    The account can be opened in any post office or commercial bank under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY). Generally, banks which have the facility to open the Public Provident Fund (PPF) accounts, also have the facility to open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana accounts.

    Where can you open an account?

    Both schemes are run by the Post Office. Apart from this, banks which have the facility to open the Public Provident Fund (PPF) account also have the facility to open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Account (SSY).

    Tax rebate

    PPF: If you deposit money in PPF account in the name of the child too, then you will get the benefit of tax exemption under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. It is a very popular option for long term investment, where both interest and maturity are tax-free.

    SSY: Tax exemption can be availed under Section 80C of Investment Income Tax Act under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.

    Minimum and maximum investment

    PPF: The minimum limit for depositing minimum and maximum in this account is Rs 500 and 1.50 lakh. But keep in mind that if the PPF account is also opened in the name of the guardian, then the maximum amount limit will be considered by including both accounts. It is not that 1.5 lakhs can be deposited annually in both accounts.

    SSY: Minimum Rs 250 can be deposited annually in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. A minimum of Rs 250 and a maximum of Rs 1.50 lakh can be deposited annually under the scheme.

    Maximum annual deposit Rs 1,50,000
    Rate of Interest Compounding 7.1% per annum

    Interest benefit Rs 36,58,288

    SSY: Return Calculator

    Deposited in 14 years 21 lakhs
    Rate of interest: 7.6 percent

    This amount will be Rs 37,98,225, according to the compounding of 7.6% per annum in 14 years.
    Then for 7 years, this amount will yield 7.6 percent annual compounding.
