Can the bank deny information about a deceased parents saving bank and fixed deposits to one of the children who has not received anything ? and whether information is rightfully entitled from bank under RTI act or by some other means ?
Ajit Singh Cheema (practising Advocate) 25 May 2014
1) In the normal course ,the banks deny the information as called for, saying its a third party information . 2) However under the law its not third party information and not exempted under section 8 of RTI Act.
3)You are rightfully entitled to get the information about a deceased person of whom you are a legal heir and rightfully entitled.
4) Preferably ask the information under the RTI Act ,instead of by any other means.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 26 May 2014
Properly opined and well advised by learned advocate Mr. A.S. Cheema, I agree with his views and I endorse my similar opinion.
