Dear Client,

In the Present Scenario, in order to close your late mother's bank accounts, and transfer the funds to your UK bank account, you may need several documents for the process. These include your mother's death certificate, identity proof, any proof of relationship, passbook, and so on. Further, as an NRI, you would be required to provide a proof of your NRI status, such as your valid passport or visa. After you get such documents ready, you may approach the branch of the bank where the accounts are held, and submit the requisite documents, along with filling the necessary forms. After this, on satisfaction that all the process have been duly followed, the bank would verify the details and thus process for closing the accounts. However, for transferring the funds to your UK Bank account, you would need to submit certain forms to ensure compliance with the Indian tax laws. Such transfer would be made from an NRO or NRE account, depending on the type of accounts your mother held. For this, the bank may charge an amount of fee, and the exchange rates, as on the date of transfer. Besides, as a nominee , you are entitled to claim the funds, but this does not automatically make you the legal heir, if there are other heirs and where distribution would be according to the succession laws of the country.

Hope you find this answer beneficial for resolving the dispute.

The FD receipt,  photocopy of the passbook and your passport copy and other details to establish your relationship with your mother,  her death certificate  should suffice to submit the claim form to claim the amount held in your deceased mother's bank account. 

If you are required to comply with any other requirements as instructed by bank may be complied accordingly. 

You will have to inquire with the bank

There is nothing legal involved in your query unless the bank refuses to release the fund 

I don't think an Aadhar is required. At the highest the bank may require you to submit an affidavit 

So first you will have to make inquiries with the bank

If the bank refuses or imposes unreasonable terms for the release then you may post a query here or seek legal help

-  Since, you are a nominee in the account of mother , then bank cannot refuse to transfer the saving account amount . 

- However, without the originals of FD  and consent of mother , you cannot break the FD and withdraw the amount. 

- The bank may required a succession certificate from the Court for getting the amount of FD after the demise of mother.

- You can engage a lawyer for filing the petition in the Court for getting succession certificate. 

You being her legal heir can close he account but the proceeds needs to be transferred to the legal heirs equally or as per her will
