1. I have tried to open Ponmagan Semippu Thittam for my son. So, I went directly to my native Post Office at Veerapandi (Theni). But, they said there is no such schemes. I do wonder why even the employees are not aware of it. So, I doubt that this scheme is not implemented yet across TN.
2. In Ponmagan deposit scheme, there is any insurance linked. If anything happen to the parent, there is any special benefits to the child like, children education plan in some of the insurance policy. Kindly reply.
