kindly guide whether self attestation is required on death certificate submitted for account opening in a bank that too when death certificate submitted is original (an HUF a/c when karta is dead and his wife takes over as karta as other male co partioners are minors) is self self attestation is required at all when an original document is submitted.

A DEATH IS FIRST RECODED IN THE REGISTER ON INFORMATION OF DEATH THEN A CERTIFIED COPY THEREOF IS ISSUED. THIS CERTIFIED COPY ISSUED TO YOU IS BEING UNDERSTOOD BY YOU AS TO BE ORIGINAL.
HOWEVER THIS CERTIFIED COPY ISSUED IS IN INTSELF THE PROOF OF CORRECTNESS AS PER ORIGINAL AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY ATTESTATION SELF OR OTHERWISE.
A ORIGINAL DOCUMENT NEVER REQUIRES ATTESTATION BUT COPY THERE OF ALWAYS REQUIRE SOME KIND OF ATTESTATION.

Attestation required only on duplicate copies. Original documents are not required to be attested.
Prabhakar singhji is right in this regard.
