Can NRIs open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account offering 8.2% interest rate?

The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a government-backed small savings scheme designed to help parents build a corpus for their daughter's future education and marriage expenses.

Certain investments have specific eligibility conditions that do not permit NRI participation.
