SETTLEMENT OF DUES IN DECEASED

SETTLEMENT OF DUES IN DECEASED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT :
The under noted procedures will be followed by the Bank in respect of treatment of death of a
depositor for operation of his/her account/ settlement of dues.
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
If the depositor has registered nomination with the Bank; the balance outstanding in
the account of the deceased depositor will be transferred to the account of / paid to
the nominee after the identity of the nominee is established to the satisfaction of the
Bank.
The above procedure will be followed even in respect of a joint account where
nomination is registered with the Bank.
In a joint deposit account, when one of the joint account holders dies, the Bank is
required to make payment jointly to the legal heirs of the deceased person and the
surviving depositor(s). However, if the joint account holders had given mandate for
disposal of the balance in the account in the forms such as either or survivor, former /
latter or survivor, anyone of survivors or survivor; etc., the payment will be made as
per the mandate to avoid delays in production of legal papers by the heirs of the
deceased.
Upon the death of one of the joint account holders, where operational/repayment
instruction is Either/Anyone of us/Survivor, the right to operate the account and
entitlement to the balance in the account vests with the surviving accountholder/s.
In the absence of nomination and when there are no disputes among the claimants,
the Bank will pay the amount outstanding in the account of deceased person against
joint application and indemnity by all legal heirs or the person mandated by the legal
heirs to receive the payment on their behalf without insisting on legal documents up
to Rs.15000/-. This is to ensure that the common depositors are not put to hardship
on account of delays in completing legal formalities.
