Step by step guide for Claim closure procedure for any type of account in India Post Finacle.

Generally if the investor/depositor of an account expires then the accounts associated with that investor/depositor can be claimed by the claimant ( Nominee if available or Legal heir) which is known as Claim Closure.

We initially take all the supported documents and after proper verification of documents the concerned higher level official will sanction the claim closure.

Claim closures for any account should be done only after sanction by the sanctioning authority.
