YOU MAY KINDLY NOTE THAT THE PERSON DIED WITHOUT NOMINATION.HENCE WIFE HAS TO CLAIM THE AMOUNT BY SUBMIT APPLICATION TO THE SAID BANK ENCLOSING DEATH CERTIFICATE.IN CASE BANK IS READY TO RELEASE THE AMOUNT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM THEN FINE.THEY MAY ASK FOR INDEMNITY BOND.KINDLY NOTE THAT ALL AFFIDAVITS ARE TO BE WRITEN ON A STAMP PAPER OF RS.100/-
BUT IN CASE BANK INSISTS FOR SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE THEN THE LADY HAS TO FILE A CIVIL COURT MATTER ENCLOSING THE DEATH CERTIFICATE AND COPY OF SAID FD AND PRAY FOR SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE.GOODLUCK.
YOU MAY WRITE AND SEND DETAILS FOR FURTHER HELP.GOOD LUCK.

Yes the bank can either ask for Succession Certificate or Indemnity Bond. Since the bank is here not insistin for Succession Certifficate then it would be easier for her to just execute an Indemnity Bond. The bank itself would provide such fromat and the value of stamp paer as well. Generally stamp paper of Rs 50/- would do.

It is at the satisfaction of the Bank to release the money of FDR on the Indemnity Bond otherwise the Bank may ask for succession certificate.

In such case the Bank provides the proforma of Indemnity Bond and other related documents as every Bank has its own proforma.
