Each beneficiary can be linked to unique savings bank account belonging to him/her. Beneficiaries without bank accounts need to be facilitated to open bank accounts in any bank as convenient.
If a Beneficiary does not have a bank account and is unable to open a new bank account, his/her relative’s bank account may be used(immediate family member such as parents, spouse, siblings).
If a relative’s bank account is used, written consent should be taken from beneficiary.
If a bank account has already been used for another beneficiary, it cannot be re-used for another beneficiary. If a new Bank account needs to be opened, it’s easy to open a zero-balance account with Indian Post Payments Bank.
