Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana- The government has made a big change in the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. In this scheme, now only parents or legal guardians can operate the daughter's account, who are capable of arranging money for the daughter's education and marriage.
If not, this account can be closed. According to the new rules, accounts which were not opened by legal guardians or parents will now have to be transferred to the guardians to continue. The new rules of the scheme will come into effect from October 1.
According to the new rule, it will now be mandatory to transfer the Sukanya Samriddhi account opened by grandparents to the name of the legal guardian or parents. Let us tell you that earlier grandparents used to open it for their granddaughter, but now this will not be possible.
According to the new rules, if more than two Sukanya Samriddhi accounts are opened in a family, then the rest of the accounts will be closed. Its purpose is to prevent any kind of irregularity in the management of accounts. Also, it should be ensured that only those people can avail the benefits of this scheme who are the legal guardians of the daughters.
Let us tell you that Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana was started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 22 January 2015 under the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign. The basic objective of this scheme is to provide financial security for the education and marriage of girls, so that they can become financially independent.
