Legal Question in Banking Law in India

you need to produce with the bank the death certificate and the succession certificate. For succession certifcate, you need to apply to the court, where the properties of your deceased father are situated or where he normally resided. Also pl see "pecuniary jurisdiction" of the court depending on the value of the property.

Please note you have to apply to the court with the names of all other heirs of your late father as the respondents in the matter. Normally a newspaper notice is also issued apart from mandatory notice to the respondents. Upon the expiry of the time period (normally 1 and a half months) from the date of publication of the notice after the respondents have given their no objection, the court passes the orders for issuance of the Succession Certificate in your name, for which you have to then submit Judicial Stamp papers of sufficient amount (as per the prescribed court fees structure) in the court, whereafter the Certificate is typed by the court staff, duly signed and sealed and delivered.

It will roughly take about 3-4 months from date of filing to receive your certificate

Is your mother alive ? Do you have any other sibling(s) besides your brother ? Is your Grand Mother alive (fathers mother ) ? Please clarify to get the answer for your questions .
