In case of an investor's death, the nominee or nominees to the bond can file a claim with the respective Receiving Office. The nominee/nominees' claim will be recognized in accordance with the provisions of the Government Securities Act of 2006, as well as Chapter III of the Government Securities Regulations of 2007. The executors or administrators of the deceased holder, or the holder of the succession certificate (issued under Part X of the Indian Succession Act), may submit a claim to the Receiving Offices/Depository in absence of a nomination. It should be noted that the aforementioned provisions also apply in the case of a deceased minor investor.
