Can I withdraw from the scheme before maturity?

Yes, a partial withdrawal of up to 50% is allowed after the account holder turns 18 year for the requirement of either marriage or higher education. In case of marriage of the account holder after 18 years, the operation of the account may not be possible and hence this scheme offers closure of the account after marriage of the account holder.  In that case, an affidavit and relevant proof would be required, stating that the girl is above 18 year of age and has, thenceforth, been married.
