Residential Address Attestation: Submit an authentic copy of your Aadhaar Card, a recently settled Electricity Bill, or an official government-issued Ration Card.

Phase 2: Institution & Venue Selection

The sovereign framework permits account origination at two designated financial networks globally recognized for secure asset hosting: The National Postal Network: Locate and approach the nearest National Post Office (Daakghar) harboring investment services. Authorized Commercial Banking Sectors: Engage any leading commercial banking branch (e.g., State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, ICICI Bank, Canara Bank) holding institutional clearance for government savings.

Phase 3: Formal Application Execution

Obtain the official Form-1 (Account Opening Application Form) from your selected institution's desk or securely extract it from verified institutional digital repositories. Accurately transcribe your full legal name, permanent residential coordinates, date of birth, and designated legal Nominee details. Firmly annex your dark-highlighted, self- attested document copies to this master sheet.

Phase 4: Capital Structure & Liquidity Allocation

The capital architecture dictates a minimum starting threshold of ₹1,000, scaling up to an absolute statutory maximum accumulation ceiling of ₹2,00,000 per individual beneficiary. Note on Liquidity: Allocation may be completed via physical Cash or secure Bank Cheque. For cheque-backed investments, the legal lifecycle of the asset officially starts on the precise clearing settlement date. Sovereign Wealth Executive Brief • Mahila Samman Savings Certificate Page 2

Phase 5: Instrument Issuance & Asset Safekeeping

Upon formal verification of your liquidity deposit and applications, the hosting institution will generate a physical, legal Passbook or Certificate. This official ledger guarantees your principal balance, the fixed 7.5% compounding yield, and locks the maturity date to exactly 24 months from inception. Store this instrument in a secure personal vault.
