FAQ

Respected Sir/Madam, I am writing to you with a heavy heart to inform you of the demise of my husband, Mr. Rajeev Singh, who had a savings account in your esteemed bank. It is a difficult time for our family, and I need to settle his financial affairs.

The bank is likely to ask for two forms of your identification (usually a passport or driver's licence, or a proof of address with a utility bill) and a copy of the will. If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate.

To close your bank account, you must write an application letter to the manager of your respective bank branch. Along with the application, you must also include/attach the documentation required to shut your account, such as a passbook, chequebook, ATM card (debit/credit), identity proof and so on.
