Sub:        Clarifications regarding new procedure prescribed for settlement of deceased claim cases vide SB Order 25/2010 followed by SB Order No. 02/2011

Sir,

This has a kind reference to SB Order 25/2010 further clarified vide SB Order No. 02/2011, dated 08.02.2011 on the above subject.

In clarifying the value of stamp paper to be used for obtaining Affidavit, Letter of Indemnity, Disclaimer certificate of Affidavit it has been instructed that since the value of stamps on Affidavit differs from State to State as it comes under the State Stamp Act,  Circles can circulate the value of stamps as per their State Stamp Act.

But due to non-circulation of such instructions till date the staff members  fail to guide the claimants properly expediting settlement of deceased claim cases.

Further to state that the new claim application forms Viz.  SB-30 ( Form for claim of balance in the Savings Bank Account of deceased depositor),  NC-14 ( Claim application form for settlement of Savings Certificates of the deceased holder where nomination is registered ),  NC-15 (  Claim application form for settlement of Savings Certificates of the deceased holder where claim is preferred on legal evidence of heir-ship) and  NC-16 (Claim application form for settlement of Savings Certificates of the deceased holder where no nomination is registered or no legal evidence is produced ) are neither available in the post offices nor updated in http://indiapost.gov.in/Forms.html.

Under the circumstances, this union requests the Divisional administration for early confirmation / circulation to all concerned regarding  the  present value of stamp paper to be used in claim cases along with making necessary arrangements for supply of the above claim forms to all post offices.

With regards.

Yours faithfully,

 ( B  SAMAL)
