Yes you have to produce the succession certificate in order to prove that you are the proper legal successor to the assets of the deceased. You will have to file an application under section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 before the Judge of District Civil court of original jurisdiction within whose jurisdiction the deceased lastly resided or the assets lie. Application is to be made in the formt prescribed. The court fee for this may vary depending upon the value of the assets. The process of issuance of the Succession Certificate is a Summary Proceedings.

I hope this will of some help to you.

As per RBI directives, Banks have been advised to settle death claims without insisting for succession certificate upto certain amount. Banks can obtain indemnity bond of heirs and two guarantors/surities and affidavit etc. This is subject to the condition that there is no dispute amoung legal heirs. U can get latest master circular of Nov 2008 on customer service issued by RBI from website www.rbi.org.in. In this cirular this point is reiterated.
