SSY Interest Rate Reduced: The government is going to review the interest rates of all small savings schemes including Sukanya Samridhi Yojana (SSY) by June 30, 2025. The new interest rates will be applicable from July 1, 2025 and will be valid till September 30, 2025. At present, Sukanya Samridhi Yojana is getting an annual interest of 8.2%, which has remained stable for some time. But now it is expected that the government may reduce the interest rate on Sukanya Samridhi Yojana.
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana interest rate will decrease
A major reason for this is that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut the repo rate by a total of 1% since February 2025. The effect of this was that almost all the banks in the country have reduced the interest rates of their fixed deposits and savings accounts. In such a situation, it is possible that the government may also reduce the interest rate of small savings schemes, especially schemes like Sukanya Yojana. Although the final decision will be taken on June 30, a slight reduction in the interest rate is expected.
