The Union Government has reduced minimum yearly deposit required under popular girl child savings scheme, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana to Rs 250 from Rs 1,000 earlier.
In this regard, Government has amended Sukanya Samriddhi Account Rules, 2016, to enable more people to enjoy the benefits of this scheme.
It was launched as a small savings scheme under Beti Bacho Beti Padho (BBBP) in January 2015.
