How many daughters of a family can have their accounts opened?
Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana was started by the Government of India in the year 2015. Under this scheme, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana was started by the government to improve the future of daughters. Under this scheme, the parents or any other guardian of the daughter can open an account for the daughter and invest in it. The government gives a good amount of interest in this scheme. And at the time of maturity, the parents have a good amount of money for the daughter's education and marriage.
