Can deposits under the SCSS scheme be made only from amounts received as retirements benefits ?
Reply : In case an investor has attained the age of 60 years and above, the source of amount being invested is immaterial [rule 2 (d)(i)]. However, if the investor is 55 years or above but below 60 years and has retired under a voluntary scheme or a special voluntary scheme or has retired from the defence services, only the retirement benefits can be invested in the SCSS [rule 2(d)(ii)].
