    Part - 2 Simplification of process /Guidelines for settlement of claims in respect of deceased depositors’ accounts –Up to Threshold limit (Rs.2 lacs)

    Documentation

    Documents, which are required to be submitted along with the claim form as applicable.

    • Copy of Death Certificate
    • Photograph & KYC of (a) all claimant(s)/legal heirs, (b)Person furnishing declaration ( as per point no.5 of application form)                              
    • Letter of Disclaimer(Duly stamped & Notarised) Annexure-A,
    • Letter of Indemnity (Duly stamped) Annexure-C
    • Receipt from claimants (payment made by issuing a Banker’s Cheque)

    Bank should exercise due care and caution in ascertaining the identity of legal heir(s) /nominee(s) and the fact of death of the account holder, through appropriate documentary evidence. If necessary, any official of the  bank shall visit the place of the depositors to enquire about the genuineness of such claims.

    It should be made clear to the survivor(s)/nominee(s) that he / they would be receiving the payment from the member bank as a trustee of the legal heirs of the deceased depositor, i.e., such payment to him / them shall not affect the right or claim which any person may have against the survivor(s)/nominee(s) to whom the payment is made.

    It may be noted that since payment made to the survivor(s) / nominee(s), subject to the foregoing conditions, would constitute a full discharge of the bank's liability, insistence on production of legal representation is superfluous and unwarranted and it would only serve to cause avoidable inconvenience to the survivor(s)/nominee(s).  In such case, therefore, while making payment to the survivor(s)/nominee(s) of the deceased depositor, the bank should not insist on production of succession certificate, letter of administration or probate, etc., or obtain any bond of indemnity or surety from the survivor(s)/nominee(s), irrespective  of  the  amount  standing  to  the  credit  of  the  deceased  account holder.

    Time Norms for settlement of claims

    Bank will settle the claims in respect of deceased depositors and release payments to survivor (s)/ nominee in case of accounts with survivor/ nominee within a period not exceeding 15days from the date of receipt of the claim subject to the production of proof of death of the depositor and suitable identification of the claimant(s) to the bank’s satisfaction. In the case of accounts without survivor/ nominee clause the claim should be settled within 1 month from the date on which the requisite documents have been submitted.

    Competent authority for settlement of claims

    As specified in Discretionary Administrative Powers, Bank’s Publication No.154 )

    Premature termination of Term Deposits Accounts and payment of interest / other issues relating to Term Deposit Account

    In the case of term deposits,  a clause in the account opening form itself to the effect that in the event of the death of the depositor(s), premature termination of term deposits by the survivor(s)/ nominee/ legal heirs would be allowed has been incorporated. The conditions subject to which such premature withdrawal would be permitted may also be specified in the account opening form. Such premature withdrawal would not attract any penal charge.

    Payment of interest in case of term deposit accounts of deceased depositor(s)

    In case of a term deposit standing in the name/s of –

    • a deceased individual depositor, or
    • two or more joint depositors, where one of the depositors has died, interest shall be paid in the manner indicated below

    i) on the maturity of the deposit: at the contracted rate

    ii) In case of premature withdrawal by legal heir(s)/nominee/legal heir, i.e., in the event of the payment of deposit being claimed before the maturity date:

    “In the event of payment of deposit being claimed before the maturity date, the branches should pay interest at the applicable  rate or the Contracted Rate whichever is lower without  charging penalty.”

    iii) In case of deposit being claimed after the date of maturity:

    In the event of death / missing of the depositor before the date of maturity of the deposit and amount of the deposit is claimed after the date of the maturity, the branches should  pay interest at the contracted rate till the date of maturity . From the date of maturity to the date of payment, the branches should pay simple interest at the applicable rate operative on the date of maturity for the period for which the deposit remained with Bank beyond date of maturity.

    Splitting of Term Deposit

    If, on request from the claimant/s, the bank agrees to split the amount of term deposit and issues two or more receipts individually in the names of the claimant/s, it shall not be construed as premature withdrawal of the term deposit, provided the period and aggregate amount of the deposit do not undergo any change.

    Treatment of flows in the name of the deceased depositor

    In order to avoid hardship to the survivor(s) / nominee of a deposit account, bank may obtain appropriate agreement / authorization from the survivor(s) / nominee with regard to the treatment of pipeline flows in the name of the deceased account holder.   In this regard, bank could consider adopting either of the following two approaches:

    • The bank could be authorized by the survivor(s) / nominee of a deceased account    holder    to    open    an    account    styled    as    'Estate    of    Shri                                 , the Deceased' where all the pipeline flows in the name of the deceased account holder could be allowed to be credited, provided no withdrawals are made.

    OR

    • The  bank  could  be  authorized  by  the  survivor(s)  /  nominee  to  return  the pipeline flows to the remitter with the remark "Account holder deceased" and to intimate the survivor(s) / nominee accordingly.   The survivor(s) / nominee / legal heir(s) could then approach the remitter to effect payment through a negotiable instrument or through ECS transfer in the name of the appropriate beneficiary.

    and heirs  by  affinity  succeed  simultaneously. Among heirs by consanguinity those in class I exclude those in class II. The heirs in two sections of class I succeeds together. In each section nearer in degree exclude the remote. The son always takes as a residuary.

    A certificate from Muslim Jama-I-eth in the letterhead signed by the head of the institution to which the deceased was affiliated should be obtained giving details of legal heirs with their age.   In case of male deceased, a categorical certificate to the effect that the deceased had not married any woman other than the one named in the list is to be insisted upon.

    Safe Deposit Locker

    Procedure in case there is no Nomination/Survivorship clause:

    On receipt of notice of death of a sole renter or of the last survivor of the joint renters, the locker should be sealed with the Bank's seal and a note to this effect should be made in the all respective records as well as in the Memorandum of Letting /Signature Card/Code Book. The Memorandum of Letting /Signature Card should be taken out of card index cabinet and kept carefully in a separate file.

    Branches may at their discretion, on production of satisfactory evidence, permit a legal representative of the deceased to inspect the contents of the locker to enable him /her to obtain the necessary succession certificate or any other legal representation.

    On registration of the succession certificate, probate of a will or letters of administration,  the  successor,  executor  or the  administrator  respectively  shall have power to deal with the contents of the locker.

    The contents of the locker, sometimes, are not of great value/ importance, hence, obtaining legal representation involves cost as well as time. The branches may, therefore, in appropriate cases, allow the heirs of the deceased renter to have access to the locker and withdraw the contents against usual indemnity, subject to the following:

      • The  claimants/heirs  of  the  deceased  renter  should  furnish  necessary particulars in the claim format, which is ordinarily obtained in deposit accounts.
    • A prescribed letter should be taken from all the heirs requesting the Bank to open the locker for the purpose of inventory.
    • The branch should then fix up a date and time for making an inventory and accordingly an inventory may be taken in the presence of all the heirs/ their duly constituted attorney/ies, two respectable witnesses known to the branch (should not be employees or ex-employees of the Bank), the valuer, the Safe Deposit Vault Custodian and another officer. The inventory may be prepared in the prescribed inventory record form. After making an inventory, care should be taken to redeposit all the contents in the said locker and to seal the locker.

    The  branches  should  exercise powers as mentioned in Discretionary Administrative Powers, Bank’s Publication No. 154 while  considering  delivering the contents against usual indemnity signed by the claimant/s and one or two surety/ies considered good for the amount involved.

    On approval, the claimant/s should be allowed to remove the contents from the locker after signing an indemnity and a letter of surrender together with the key.

    Where an inventory is to be taken in terms of a court order, it should be done in the presence of (i) the Court's representative, (ii) the claimant/s to the contents of the locker held by the deceased renter, (iii) the valuer and (iv)two officers of the branch. The inventory should enumerate the contents of locker and it should be signed by those in whose presence the locker has been opened. The valuer's  assessment  of  the  value  of  each  item  of  the  inventory  should  be  in triplicate,  one copy to the Court, the second to the claimant  and the third to be retained on branch record.
