Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Financial rules change every month. At the same time, we have to do some work in a financial year. In such a situation, today we will tell what work the beneficiary of Sukanya Yojana must do this month.
In Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana launched by the Government of India, the investor is required to deposit a minimum amount in a year. If he does not do this, his account may be frozen. The last month of the current financial year 2023-24 has started.
In such a situation, before March 31, the investor will have to deposit the minimum amount in the Sukanya Account.
If the investor does not do this, he will not get the remaining benefits of the scheme along with an account freeze.
What is the minimum amount?
Sukanya Yojana is a Small Saving Scheme. In this, you can invest in your daughter's education and her marriage. In this scheme, the government gives interest of 8.2 percent.
To keep a Sukanya account active, an investor has to deposit at least Rs 250 in a financial year. Let us tell you that you can invest only up to Rs 1.5 lakh in this account in a year. If you have not invested in the Sukanya account in the last year, then you will have to deposit money in the account before March 31.
If you do not do this your account will be frozen. This means that once the account is frozen, you will not get other benefits like tax benefits.
How to activate a frozen account
If you do not invest in your Sukanya account by March 31, the account will be frozen and you will have to pay a penalty to restart it. Let us tell you that for reactivating a frozen account, a fine of Rs 50 per year has to be paid.
Understand it this way, if your account is frozen for 2 years, then you will have to pay a fine of Rs 100 at the rate of Rs 50 per year. Apart from this, you will also have to deposit the minimum amount of Rs 250 for 2 years i.e. Rs 500 i.e. to keep the account active you will have to pay a total of Rs 600.
