Legal Question in Civil Litigation in India
A deceased member of our family who was a bachelor had accounts - savings and fixed deposits with a bank. We wish to have details of these accounts,the transactions for a period prior to his death and after. The accounts were in a single name, joint with his deceased mother and with another person. The bank is avoiding answering and providing the details. It appears that some of money has been paid out and therefore they are shielding themselves. Can the bank refuse to divulge the information and what action must we take to obtain the information?

At this stage bank is doing right act. they are not bound to disclose any info. abt their a/c holder. In what capacity do you want to get all that and why you only why not other member of said family?
Dear Sir,
If this is the Nationalized Bank, then you can try it through by presenting an application to said Bank Manager, or Regional Manager under the Right to Information Act 2005.
Thank You,

Take the necessary information from the bank under the RTI act.
