A nominee is seeking to retain their mother's fixed deposit (FD) with a favourable 9.25% interest rate after her passing. The nominee wishes to transfer the FD into their name without breaking it, to maintain the high interest until its 2025 maturity date. However, the bank is currently refusing this request, and the nominee is looking for advice on alternative solutions or legal avenues to achieve this.

My mother died in august 2021. She was holding fix deposit @9.25% in a bank with the maturity date of in 2025. Being a nominee I don't want to break the fix deposit since the interest was on higher side. I want the same fix deposit to be transferred in my name with the same interest rate. Is is possible to do so. The bank is refusing to do the same. Please advice.
