If you tell exactly for what purpose you need details of decesed accounts holders, I could help you.

The banker is right.

The bank is supposed to reveal the account details only to the concerned account holder.

Regarding the RTI no private institution is bound by the RTI. Only govt and govt aided institutions come under RTI.

The legal heirs of the deceased can seek information from the bank, by producing proof.
