My Late Father who was an NRI passed away in India a couple of years ago. My family members gave me a General Power of Attorney to deal with my Father's assets in India. Upon his death we were unable to locate my Father's Post Office account documents or account number(s). I went to his local branch who informed me that without an account number their is nothing they can do to help. My father passed away in India and had his documents here which are now lost. My question is what steps should I take legally in order to retrieve my Late Father's account details via the Post Office? Thank you for your time.

If the PO record is computerized then it is too easy to search...........or take help as suggested.
RTI is a good option and information provided in RTI is evidence..
