Sukanya Samriddhi scheme closed on maturity

Closing the account at maturity is guided by some rules.

• The account matures from the date of account creation on completion of 21 years. The entire maturity amount can be withdrawn at maturity, along with accrued interest.
• If the girl for whom the account is opened, gets married before the maturity period is completed, she will withdraw the balance when she is 18 years old at the time of such withdrawal. The girl will sign an affidavit stating that at the time of her return, she is 18 years old.
• If the girl attains the age of 18 years and gets married before the completion of 14 years, the account cannot be operated. Deposits cannot be further credited to the account even if the deposits made were not made earlier.
• The girl child is the only authorized person who can withdraw the maturity amount. To make the withdrawal, she is required to submit the passbook and withdrawal slip of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.
• If the girl marries after reaching a majority and withdraws 50 percent of the amount for the purposes of marriage, she may decide not to close the account. While new deposits cannot be made, interest will accrue from the balance before the completion of the 21 years.
