Mr R V Rao statement is against the law. Against the RBI regulations. No extra mandate is required as proposed by Mr Rao. had I been there that manger would have lost the job If facts of Rao's case were different (like either or survivor clause was not there or struck off or any lettre of intent was given to bank secretly about the right of one holder etc) I have nothing to say. But whether FD or SB the survivor on death without will or probation by producing death cert and ID can pre close or close the account or claim the balance.
