Dear Anonymous,

In lieu of the law of succession you have to approach the civil court for procuring succession certificate whereafter the bank is bound to transfer the FD in your name. In the alternate there is usually descretion vested with the Branch Manager of the bank to transfer the same in case you procure No Objection Certificate from other legal heirs and tender a Indeminity bond as per bank manual.

Best Regards

I agree with Mr. Daksh. In some states, the Administrator-General is empowered to issue Heirship Certificate if the sum is not huge.This is generally accepted by banks.

The experts agree or not they can not change law.

You have to take succession certificate from court having jurisdiction in your area.
