Family members found 20 years old SBI passbook, you will be shocked to see the amount in the account

Old SBI Passbook: Often many people suddenly find out one day that their ancestors have so much money that they can buy a house with it, this moment is a moment of surprise for everyone. One such story is going viral very fast on social media these days. This is the story of a person who, while cleaning his house, found a very old SBI i.e. State Bank of India passbook. It has been claimed in the post that this passbook was about 20 to 24 years old. When he showed this passbook to his father, he came to know that this passbook belonged to his grandfather, who is no longer in this world. Some such things have been revealed in the post about the passbook, which are really surprising.

What was mentioned in the post?

This entire story has been shared on X by a user named Pooja. He told that the family believes that more than one lakh rupees are deposited in this old bank account. Also, the most important thing is that while in today’s passbook the account numbers are of 11 to 15 digits, in this passbook only four digit account number is written, which shows how old this account is. Entries till the year 2003 are also shown in the photo of the passbook.

After this information, the biggest question asked in the post is – Can money be withdrawn from such an old and closed account even today? And if the account holder has died, can his family get this money back? After this question, thousands of people commented on the post and gave their opinion.

What comments came on the question?

Many users responded to this post that the money does not get exhausted just because the account has not been used for many years. Some people said that first of all one should go to RBI’s UDGAM portal and check whether this account has come under unclaimed deposit i.e. unclaimed amount. If the account is visible there, then you can withdraw this money from the SBI branch by showing the necessary documents. Some users also told that if an account is closed for 10 years or more, then its money goes to the DEAF fund of RBI, but despite this, the real owner can get this money back by completing the entire process.

It was also mentioned in the comments that for this the family will have to go to the nearest SBI branch with the original passbook, death certificate of the account holder, and documents proving that they are the heir of the account holder. One user even wrote that if all the necessary documents are completed, it may take about 15 days to get the money.
