RDSP- A Useful Saving Plan to Secure the Future of Disable People

Now you need not to much worry about your near and dear ones who are suffering from the disability. The Canadian government has been assisting them through many beneficiary schemes to uplift their financial and social conditions. The Registered Disability Saving Plan (RDSP) is one such scheme by which the affected people can have a dependable solution for a long time. It is a good opportunity to find a future financial security through the lucrative saving plans.

There are certain criteria to avail these saving plans in case of long-term disability. Its major and basic provisions are- the applicants should be under age of 60; they should be a Canadian resident with a Social Insurance Number (SIN); eligible for the Disability Tax Credit and looking for a long-term saving plan. 

The government deposits money into your RDSP by the Canada Disability Saving Grant. For this saving plan government provides grants of up to 300 per cent, depending on the amount contributed. The maximum amount is $3,500 each year, though there is upper limit of $70,000 over the lifetime of disabled persons. Another plan is Canada Disability Saving Bond, under which government deposits money into the RDSPs of low-income and modest-income citizens. The eligible people could receive up to $1,000 a year from the Government, with a limit of $20,000 over their lifetime.

The RDSP is a long-term saving plan that especially provides benefits to the disabled persons. It encourage savings, grants and bonds for at least 10 years and there is no impact on federal benefits, such as the Goods and Services Tax Credit, the Canada Tax Benefit, Old Age Security, and Employment Insurance. There are no restrictions how and for what purpose the fund is being used.
