Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is a government savings scheme for the girl child that offers one of the highest fixed returns among small savings products. A deposit of ₹2,000 a month is a comfortable amount for many parents to set aside. This article shows what that sum can grow into across the full term, how the yearly balance builds up, and the main rules you should be aware of before you open the account.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana or SSY runs under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign and is backed fully by the Government of India. The current interest rate is 8.2% per annum, compounded yearly, and it is reviewed by the government every three months.
A few basics worth knowing:
At ₹2,000 every month, your yearly deposit comes to ₹24,000. It is small enough to manage on a regular salary, yet large enough to build a meaningful corpus by the time your daughter is ready for college or marriage. Over the deposit period, you put in ₹3,60,000 of your own money, and compounding does the rest.
The table below assumes a steady ₹24,000 deposited each year for 15 years, with interest compounding at 8.2%. Deposits stop after year 15, but the balance keeps earning interest until the account matures in year 21.
| Year | Total Yearly Deposited (₹) | Year-End Balance (₹) |
| 1 | 24,000 | 25,968 |
| 2 | 48,000 | 54,065 |
| 3 | 72,000 | 84,467 |
| 4 | 96,000 | 1,17,361 |
| 5 | 1,20,000 | 1,52,953 |
| 6 | 1,44,000 | 1,91,463 |
| 7 | 1,68,000 | 2,33,131 |
| 8 | 1,92,000 | 2,78,215 |
| 9 | 2,16,000 | 3,26,997 |
| 10 | 2,40,000 | 3,79,779 |
| 11 | 2,64,000 | 4,36,889 |
| 12 | 2,88,000 | 4,98,682 |
| 13 | 3,12,000 | 5,65,541 |
| 14 | 3,36,000 | 6,37,884 |
| 15 | 3,60,000 | 7,16,158 |
| 16–21 | 3,60,000 | grows to maturity |
| 21 (Maturity) | 3,60,000 | 11,49,139 |
With a ₹2,000 monthly deposit, you invest a total of ₹3,60,000 and receive close to ₹11,49,139 at maturity. The interest portion alone is about ₹7,89,139, which is more than double what you put in.
These figures are for illustration. Since the rate is revised every quarter, your actual maturity amount may move slightly up or down.
The growth in the chart comes down to a few simple factors:
This is why the balance jumps the most in the final years of the term.
