Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Will marriage lock or unlock your SSY account? | Mint
Marriage will not automatically close your daughter's Sukanya Samriddhi account. But if she marries after turning 18, you may request early closure. This is allowed only from one month before the wedding until three months after it. You'll need proof of age and a stamp-paper declaration. So apply within this window if you plan to close.
Key Statutory Highlights
- A Sukanya Samriddhi account does not automatically close when the girl gets married.
- If she marries after age 18, early closure is allowed from one month before the wedding to three months after it.
- Closure requires documents including proof of age and a declaration on non-judicial stamp paper.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your daughter is getting married and you may want to close the SSY account, collect proof of age and the stamp-paper declaration now, and apply within the allowed window—one month before to three months after the wedding.
