15H or 15G is to avoid TDS.
The Bank may agree after intimation of death with death certificate is submitted (prefer to submit under proper acknowledgment).

Depending upon mandate of operation FD signed with Bank the FD shall be operated if one depositor/holder has died.
a) Bank has deleted the name of first depositor after receiving proof of death of first depositor.
b) Income of second depositor is not taxable / second person is entitled to get benefit from this facility.

Discuss with Bank. Usually they guide properly.
Or take up with your own tax counsel.

Not legally valid until the account is converted in to a single account with the name of the 2nd holder by adopting a due process after the death of the first holder of account. Get that done first.
