The below is just an addition to your knowledge about SSA (sukanya samriddhi account).
After going through the whole Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme I noticed some
important points which one should think on before opening it.1) The interest rate in this account is 9.20% which is highest compared to all such small
schemes.2) U can deposit money till 14 years from the date of opening an account. I.e. date of account
opened :- 1-4-2015 then u can deposit till 1-4-2028.3) Maturity of account is after 21 years from the date of opening of account. I.e. date of
account opened:- 1-4-2015 then maturity date is 1-4-2035, till that time u cannot withdraw
money except in two cases as follows:- a) if the girl turns to 18years old then 50% of balance can be withdrawn. b) on the occasion of marriage u can withdraw whole amount and close the account.4) Min deposit of Rs.1000 per year is compulsory.5) Amount deposited in this account is exempt u/s 80c which totals to Rs.1,50,000/-
(maximum) for F.Y. 2015-16.6) Income received through this account is also Tax free.

Buying bitcoin is the simplest way to invest, you exchange
money for an agreed amount of bitcoin based on market rates. The
market rates are dictated on open exchange, or you can also
p u r c h a s e o f f b r o k e r s t y l e m a r k e t m a k e r s
likeCoinSecureorUnocoin. If you buy bitcoin, you then need to
hold bitcoin. You can set up an offline wallet (which you control,
but requires high security) or use a third party wallet like Unocoin.
2. Mining
As we mentioned earlier, transactions using the blockchain are
verified by a distributed network of super-computers. If you contribute
computing power to this distributed network, you will be apportioned
some of the newly minted coins as a reward and incentive for
processing the transactions. But this is a very complicated method, so
not for people who have just started investing.
5. Current market scenario
This year has seen a great deal of attention towards Bitcoin
and blockchain technology, from governments and large
financial institutions like Microsoft and Dell. Although interest
has been building for some time, the last few months have seen
many of these bodies go public with their interest by
announcing various trials and research programmes.The total
amount of Venture Capitalist investment in Bitcoin companies
in 2014 was around $410.7 million.
Despite a degree of uncertainty in the air, many remain
optimistic over the future of Bitcoin. The interest from powerful
banking institutions should be encouraging to all those
operating in the Bitcoin space. It is worth remembering the
reservations expressed by the banks towards e-commerce and
online payments before they became the vital part of the global
economy we know them as today. Bitcoin still has a great deal to
offer and, as always, is an incredibly exciting industry to be
involved with.
6. Future of Bitcoins
Bitcoin is a crypto currency that is gaining popularity
globally because of its benefits to the online community as a
whole. It has started being considered as a wonderful option in
comparison to national currencies. Its future prospects seem
very promising given the substantial growth in the total market
capitalization. Bitcoin has come a long way over a period of five
plus years since its inception.
Hence the growth of Bitcoin as a currency is indeed very
promising in the future to come and the expectations regarding
growth beyond 2014 is tremendous in the user as well as non
user community.A lot of professionals engaged with Bitcoins
are enthusiastic about the currency and have high hopes about
its performance. Read their thoughts here.
7. Investment tips
For an investor, time period and patience will be very
important. The reason for this is that the value of Bitcoin is
fluctuating day in-day out. There have been times where the
value of Bitcoin has fallen 50% in one
day. But the interest for Bitcoin all
around the world has been increasing
and it may prove to be a healthy
investment if given considerable
investment time.
The current Bitcoin price in India
is around Rs.15600 for 1 Bitcoin. The
live prices for Bitcoin can be seen on
the following site :
***Live! Bitcoin value.***
But future is what it matters. The
following site provides future predictions for the value of
Bitcoins :
***Bitcoin value forecast VS Bitcoin performance.***
As a part of the investment portfolio, one can look for partial
asset allocation and can invest 1 to 2 % of the total investment.It
will definitely be a long run game and there is no promise for
short term returns.
8. Legal status of Bitcoins in India
In India, bitcoin transactions are completely legal.
Since Bitcoin is not a fiat currency with legal tender status under any jurisdiction, but the tax liability comes regardless of the medium used for transaction. In India, however, the press release by RBI, Bitcoin transactions are not authorized central bank or monetary authority. RBI, in the same press release has cautioned the traders and users about the security risks and issues that may arise. As per Forward Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1952, goods is ‘every kind of movable property other than actionable claims, money and securities.’ So Bitcoin may be defined as goods and taxes might be charged accordingly.

Legal information on Bitcoins
9. Conclusion
To conclude, one could say that Bitcoin investment will be a
profitable one in the long run. Increasing attraction from around
the globe will drive the demand upward and so its value will
definitely increase. To add to it, increasing interest from Global
giants and a number of international banks will also help the
value of bitcoin improve and stabilize. It’s a good investment
option for investors who would like to diversify their portfolio
and look for gains in new sectors. A small investment to start
with will also help the investor to learn about Bitcoin market but
it sure does seem a profitable one.
