Post Office savings account nomination: check nominee details and keep proof

India Post practical guide

Nomination details help record the person nominated for an account. Account holders should check that the recorded information is accurate and ask the post office about the applicable process for changes.

Details to review

  • Name and identifying details of the nominee
  • Relationship information, where recorded
  • Whether the nomination is reflected in the account records
  • Any acknowledgement or form copy provided by the post office

If details need updating

Visit the account-holding post office and ask for the current nomination form and supporting-document requirements. Keep the acknowledgement after submission.

Important

Nomination does not replace all legal or claim procedures. Confirm the applicable rules with India Post for the specific account and situation.
