Do not invest all the money in the Sukanya prosperity project
According to experts we should not invest all our money in Sukanya prosperity project. A little money should also be invested in the public futures fund. We get 7.6 per cent interest on the Sukanya Prosperity Project. At the same time, the interest rate on PPF is only 7.1 per cent. The interest rate is revised every four months. When one has to choose between the PPF and the Sukanya Prosperity Plan, the investor should choose the Sukanya Prosperity Plan because it offers a higher return than the PF. If you have invested in PPF for 15 years it will give you a better option, but you should also invest a portion of your earnings in PPF.
Investing in PPF
By investing in PPF, you get a government guarantee. You also get a tax-deductible benefit. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, you can claim tax deduction for investments up to Rs 1.5 lakh. The PPF account expiration is 15 years, but it can be extended to another 5 years. The minimum and maximum deposit limit in this account is Rs 500 and Rs 1.50 lakh, but keep in mind that if the PPF account is opened in the name of the guardian, both accounts together will be considered as the maximum amount limit. 1.5 lakh is not credited annually in both accounts.
