Investment in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna – A Unique Scheme for Young Girl Child
For the prosperity of the girl child in particular a new scheme has been launched by the Government which is known as Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna. The basic aim of this scheme is to provide for education of the giri child and also to help in the marriage of the girl child. As a part of ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ Programme of the Prime Minister this scheme has been started. The scheme has been notified by Ministry of Finance vide Notification No. G.S.R. 863(E) dated 02.12.2014. Scheme becomes operational by notification of rules namely ‘Sukanya Samriddhi Account Rules, 2014. Although the scheme has been announced towards the end of December 2014, certain tax concessions have been granted as per the Union Budget 2015-16. Under the scheme an account in the name of the girl child can be opened either with any Post Office in India doing the Savings Bank Account work or the account can also be opened with any branch of a commercial bank authorized by the Central Government to open the account under these rules. The scheme provides that the account may be opened by the natural or legal guardian in the name of a girl child from the birth of the girl child till she attains the age of ten years and any girl child, who had attained the age of ten years, one year prior to the commencement of these rules, shall also be eligible for opening of the account under these rules. It is also provided in the scheme that the account may be opened and operated upon in the name of the girl child and that it is further provided that only one account may be opened under the above scheme for one girl child.
For the purpose of opening of the bank account the Birth certificate of a girl child in whose name the account is opened shall be submitted by the guardian at the time of opening of the account in post office or bank along with other documents relation to identity and residence proof of the depositor.
The scheme further provides that the account may be opened with an initial deposit of one thousand rupees and thereafter any amount in multiple of one hundred rupees may be deposited subject to the condition that a minimum of one thousand rupees shall be deposited in a financial year but the total money deposited in an account on a single occasion or in multiple occasions shall not exceed one lakh fifty thousand rupees in a financial year.
The deposits which are made in the name of the girl child may be made till completion of fourteen years from the date of opening the bank account in the above scheme.
The above mentioned account shall be operated by the natural or real guardian of the girl child till she attains the age of ten years. On attaining age of ten years, the account holder that the girl child herself operate the account, however, deposit in the account may be made by the guardian or any other person or authority. The scheme further provides that in the event of death of the account holder, the account shall be closed immediately on production of death certificate issued by the competent authority, and the balance at the credit of the account shall be paid along with interest till the months preceding the month of premature closure of the account, to the guardian of the account holder. The scheme further provides that the premature closure of the account may be affected only in cases of extreme compassionate grounds such as medical support in life threatening diseases, death, etc.
For the purpose of higher education and marriage of the girl child the scheme provides that to meet the financial requirement of the account holder withdrawal up to fifty per cent of the balance at the credit, at the end of preceding financial year shall be allowed. However, such withdrawal will be allowed only when the account holder the girl child attains the age of eighteen years.
The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna furtherprovides that the account shall mature on completion of twenty one years from the date of opening of the account. It is also provided that where the marriage of the account holder takes place before completion of such period of twenty one years, the operation of the account shall not be permitted beyond the date of her marriage.
The amendments as proposed by the Finance Act, 2015 makes the investment in the above scheme interesting for your girl child. This is because the interest provided on the deposited amount will be at the rate of 9.1 per cent which will be tax free. Likewise, on investment in this scheme the person investing the money also enjoys deduction under section 80C within the overall limit of Rs.1,50,000. Hence, for safeguarding the interest of the minor child the scheme apparently appears to be very good one.

Investment in Tax Free Bonds
If you come in the highest income bracket – that to, if you have an income exceeding Rs.10 lakh a year – surely it is worthwhile for you to make your investment in tax free bonds, especially if you calculate the impact of income-tax savings on the same. The investment in tax free bonds would be better than Bank Fixed Deposits. Grab fast the Tax Free Bonds, before they vanish.
Well, generally speaking the Tax Free Bonds are very good instruments for investment. They are safe and secured and no risk at all. There is no upper limit of investment in these Bonds. More details about these Bonds will be given after some time. But I would say that investment in Tax Free Bonds is very good option for investment by High Net Worth Individuals specially if they are compare with Bank FDR deposits because in respect of income from Bank Fixed Deposit income-tax payable is as high as 30 per cent whereas the interest income from these Bonds is completely tax free thereby the investor gets entire interest income tax free. All such persons who are coming within the higher income-tax bracket will be able to earn net higher interest after taking into consideration the impact of income-tax. The net extra yield would be about 1 per cent income comparing with Bank Fixed Deposit. Those coming in higher Income-tax Bracket may invest in these Bonds.
Now coming to other category of individuals I would say that individuals having income below Rs.2,50,000 and generally making investment in Bank Fixed Deposit should not make investment of a single rupee in these Bonds because the net take home money for such individuals will be higher if these make investment in Bank Fixed Deposit. Next for such persons who have income up to Rs.5,00,000 for them also it is not so good to make investment in Tax Free Bonds because the net return after tax will be much higher than the yield through these Bonds. Finally persons having income in excess of Rs.5,00,000 for them it is recommended to invest in these Bonds because the net yield considering income-tax will be higher for them in Tax Free Bonds vs. the Bank Fixed deposit.

Investment in Real Estate, Careful things to note now
Well, one may buy and sell a property at any mutually agreed price but the fact is that when you go to register the said property in the office of the Sub-Registrar you would find that the dealing clerk who is supposed to register you property deal would compare the sale consideration as mentioned in the sale deed with the fair market value of the property as per the rate fixed by the Sub-Registrar. The rate so fixed by the Sub-Registrar’s office is known as Circle Rate
. Now if the sale consideration as mentioned in the sale deed is lower than the Circle Rate then the Stamp Duty would be calculated as per the value prescribed for Circle Rate. For example, if Anurag is purchasing a place of land in Gurgaon for Rs.20 lakhs but the Circle Rate value of the said land as per the rate chart of the Sub-Registrar is Rs.26 lakhs. Now in this illustration although the deal between the buyer and the seller will be for Rs.20 lakhs but the payment of Stamp Duty by the buyer would be on Rs.26 lakhs.
Having understood the meaning of Circle Rate
, it is now time to understand the impact of Income-tax on the sale transactions of real estate. A little unknown section 50C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 clearly mentions that the liability on Capital Gains would arise on the value of the property as fixed by the state valuation authority which generally is the Sub-Registrar. Thus, Capital Gains Tax would be calculated on the value of the property as fixed by the Stamp Valuation Authority specially when such value is higher than the declared value of the property as appearing in the sale deed. For example, in the above illustration if the property sold for Rs.20 lakhs has Circle Rate of Rs.26 lakhs then for the purposes of computation of capital gains the sale price of the property would be taken to be Rs.26 lakhs. In the same illustration if the purchase price of the property is Rs.15 lakhs, tehn as per the provisions enumerated in section 50C the quantum of Capital Gain would be Rs.11 lakhs being the Circle Price of Rs.26 lakhs less the cost of the property. Thus, we find that because of section 50C Anurag is required to pay capital gains on the higher amount. Whether you like it or not, but the fact remains that in view of this special provision existing in section 50C of the income-tax Act 1961 the correct system of computing the capital gains would be to take the sale consideration as the amount mentioned in the sale deed or the value as per the circle rate, whichever is higher. Do pay your taxes on account of capital gains by taking into consideration the fair value as fixed by the Stamp Valuation Authority.
