my tayaji had ppf account for last 27 years from post office .he is now no more so we want to close that account . we are amaze that officers want bribe its too much that he demand . for 27 years continues maintain this account the
interest and compound interest is so much. so there greed is tooo big . his death is in feb till mater is disputed . in short i wanna people please don't open account with post office . most of them gave bribe. open account with banks who offer online. search who is more transparent i prefer bank of baroda .
First place, PPF account runs for 15 years, and then extensible by 5 year blocks. So I assume that your tayaji has extended it 3 times.
If you have,
1. death certificate,
2.Legal heirship certificate
3. Succession certificate
4. Family membership certificate
and all the hiers mentioned in the documents apply jointly, there is nothing in the act that, to necessitate a bribe to the postal dept.
