About this guide
यह गाइड किसके लिए है
Last reviewed: 11 November 2026
This guide explains two things families look up together: what Beti Bachao Beti Padhao is, and how a Sukanya Samriddhi account works. The first is an awareness programme. The second is a small-savings account for a girl who has not turned 10. The pages say which is which, because a form that mixes them up is how people are asked to pay for a cash benefit that does not exist.
Beti Bachao Guide is independent. It does not open accounts, take deposits, issue a passbook, or speak for a ministry. When a step has to be done at a counter or on an official site, the link goes to wcd.gov.in, indiapost.gov.in, nsiindia.gov.in, or dea.gov.in, and it opens in a new tab.
The rules come from those pages and from the Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme, 2019. A rupee figure or a rate appears only when one of those sources states it. The interest rate for October–December 2026 is 8.2% a year because the National Savings Institute and the Department of Economic Affairs office memorandum of 30 September 2026 say so.
Each page shows a Last reviewed date. That is the day the official sources for the page were read. A later quarterly memorandum can change the rate. If this guide and the government page disagree, follow the government page.
The calculator and the eligibility checker run in your browser. They do not open an account and they do not store what you type.
If a link is broken or a sentence is out of date, write to [email protected]. The page address is enough. Please do not send Aadhaar, PAN, a birth certificate, or a one-time password.
