Closing of Current Bank Account


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that while a proprietor can close their own current bank account, an authorised person generally cannot initiate closure on their behalf, especially after the proprietor's death. For accounts of a deceased individual, only a nominee can apply for closure, or a succession certificate must be provided to the bank. This is particularly relevant for older accounts where specific nomination details might be missing.
