Parents can make Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana deposit online; here's the step-by-step procedure

New Delhi: Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a government-backed savings scheme that helps parents save money for their daughters’ future. Regular deposits are accepted for this fixed-income investment and the scheme also offers interest on deposits allowing parents to build a fund for their daughter's education and other needs.

Parents can deposit money into an SSY account through cash, cheque, demand draft or online transfer. To deposit money online, you need an India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) savings account. You can then use the IPPB mobile app to transfer money to your daughter's SSY account.

How to Open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Account

Parents can open an SSY account at a post office or an authorised bank that offers the scheme. Parents have to visit their nearest post office or authorised bank branch and complete the account-opening process for their daughter. Once the account is opened and parents have received the SSY passbook, they can proceed with online deposits.
