Bank is right in asking succession certificate. Since all the heirs are entitled to succeed the Karta after his death. Bank can not release payment in favour of any individual legal heir.

U have to prove the status of the new Karta if your A/c. is a HUF A/c. Otherwise, U will have to obtain succession certificate as demanded by the bank. However, the bank cannot enjoy interest-free holiday in the interim.
