Overview

The Reserve Bank of India and the Centre have amended nomination rules under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, effective November 1. Depositors can now nominate up to four individuals for bank deposits and safe deposit lockers, either simultaneously with specified shares or successively. While optional, these changes aim to simplify fund transfers and reduce procedural delays upon a depositor's death.
