Limitations of SSY

• Max investment Capped, thus Corpus attainable from SSY also max upto Rs.71 Lakh only.
• If more fund needed, ADD Mutual Funds for more investment & extra growth.
• You can watch the previous video where we discussed how to create a corpus to cover expenses of even the most costly education program in the country, with practical example using SIP in Mutual Funds.
• Money locked till maturity. That’s bit of issue as maturity is only after 21 years of opening the A/c. So, even if you open the account immediately after your daughter’s birth, Still you can use only upto 50% of the corpus for her Graduation, which normally will start at 18/19 years age. Although, rest 50% can be used for Masters or other goal after she attain 21 yrs age.
