The Indian government’s Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a popular scheme designed to secure the future of girl children. While the interest rate has recently decreased to 8.2%, the long-term benefits of SSY make it a valuable investment option.
Here’s how investing ₹4,000 per month in SSY can grow to a substantial ₹25 lakhs for your daughter:
