serving you better.

sanctioned by the UNCC on a random basis. The Ministry of External
Affairs GOI New Delhi provides the list of successful claims to our
Parliament Street Branch New Delhi, who in turn segregates the list as
per the addresses furnished by the claimants and sends the same to the
respective Zonal Offices spread over different States of the Country.
Zonal Offices in turn supply the list to the respective branches who
will send the intimation letters to the successful claimants. Please note
that you have to open the account in the branches who would send
you the intimation letter and this is based on the address which you
would have given at the time of claiming the amount.

immediately to the branch concerned the following documents duly
filled in

Ministry

the time of submitting your documents to the branch besides
