Thanks Sri Mani and Sri G K for your responses. Sri G K,
My response to your points - just my opinion and you or others may differ. 1. Putting everything in S B is not advisable as SB accounts will give low interest. My father had 3 FDs with SBI ( he split the total amount into 3 and created 3 as in case of need we can break one). He had it jointly with my sister and nominated my brother and sister in 2 and 1 respectively as I was not in India. On his death, the bank gave my sister two options: 1. To continue the deposit with the same rates till maturity - To the best of my recollection as I went to the bank with her. 2. Close them then and there and do whatever she wants thereafter. Interest accrued will be as per old rates. Since the joint holder (either or survivor) was alive, the nominees didn't matter. My father had no Will, only what he orally told us. My sister retained one till maturity and closed the other 2 and gave the proceeds to my brother as per my father's and my wishes. This was in Oct 2018. So I am not aware of the issue you have raised. I am in Chennai now and will visit SBI and will write what they say regarding your points. It may take a few days. One can split total amount into 3 or 4 FDs depending on the amount and can even create FDs for different tenure. Nobody knows when will death come. Better keep roughly one years's expenses in SB or even better, opt for quarterly, half yearly interest credits on the FDs so one will always get Ithe interest credited to the SB account every qtr or semi annually or even annually if one desires - to take care of running expenses. Best course is to visit your branch And discuss with them your concerns And opt for the best option, based on your needs. I would do that (have done that) instead of relying on what we read or hear. Nothing better than that, that comes from the horse's mouth - here the your bank.

One of my colleagues invested a lot of money after retirement in a telecom co operative society for slightly more interest. There may be many such. Telecom department announced V R S, most opted and society became bankrupt, those took V R S left with out paying society dues, address not known. Invest half in F D in a nationalized bank and balance in savings deposit, handy to have cash. Recently I read difficulty in closing FD in nationalized banks in either or survivor cases even after producing death certificate before maturity. Very pathetic R B I guidelines, to close only on maturity date is possible. So Better have all savings in SB - Best choice. Those ailing may close all FD before maturity. Let us have meager interest. But no difficulty.

Even R K Mutt is a victim here. It is not just Kerala but Most of the states are broke as they give freebies to win elections but bankrupt the economy.
