With reference to the Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The scheme account can be opened with a minimum of ₹100.

Under the Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme, the minimum deposit required to open an account is ₹250, not ₹100. The scheme was launched in January 2015 as part of the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign and allows accounts to be opened at post offices or authorised bank branches.
