Ask the Bank/Banker to provide copy of form signed by deceased despositor and receipt of original FDR signed.

RBI has otherwise issued guidelines that have statutory force;

 

 

20.1 Accounts with survivor/nominee clause

 

20.2 Accounts without the survivor / nominee clause

In case where the deceased depositor had not made any nomination or for the accounts other than those styled as "either or survivor" (such as single or jointly operated accounts), banks are required to adopt a simplified procedure for repayment to legal heir(s) of the depositor keeping in view the imperative need to avoid inconvenience and undue hardship to the common person.  In this context, banks may, keeping in view their risk management systems, fix a minimum threshold limit, for the balance in the account of the deceased depositors, up to which claims in respect of the deceased depositors could be settled without insisting on production of any documentation other than a letter of indemnity.

 These guidelines should be on bank website alongwith  Bank's policy for such matters and on issue and delievery of FDR.
