Interpretation

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA’S DECISION

    Pensioners drawing pension through Public Sector Banks may avail nomination facilities available in the Bank. – 1.     Under the Scheme for payment of pension to Central Government pensioners through Public Sector Banks, the amount of monthly pension (including relief on pension sanctioned by the Government from time to time) is credited by the paying branch of a bank selected by the pensioner to the individual savings/current account of the pensioner. If the pensioner has already an account, savings or current, in his/her individual name with that branch of the bank, the pensioner is not required to open a separate account for this purpose. The only restriction under the scheme is that the account must be in the individual name of the pensioners and “joint” or an “either or survivor” is not allowed. When the account is in the individual name of the pensioner, the balance outstanding in the account cannot be transferred to anybody’s account after demise of the pensioner. It will be paid to the legal heir of the pensioner as per the banking rules and practice.

2.    However with effect from 29th March, 1985, the Reserve Bank of India have issued instructions allowing nomination facility to all depositors in respect of the deposits held by them in their individual capacity in the respective branches of the various Public Sector Banks to avoid any hardship to the nominee survivor in getting payment of the balance outstanding in the account of the deceased account holder. This may be brought to the notice of all pensioners so that they can avail of the nomination facility to avoid any hardship being faced by the nominee survivor of the deceased in getting the payment of balance amount in the account of the deceased pensioner.
