When you apply for a bank account or an investment, you need to fill up a form in which there is a section on adding ‘nominee’. This holds true for all financial instruments, be it a bank account, a bank locker, an insurance policy, or anything else. Many people leave the section blank. Ideally, the nominee section should be filled. To drive home the importance of giving nominee details, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently roped in superstar Amitabh Bachchan. In a video, the actor is seen asking people to add nominee details, which helps in handing over the funds in the bank account to the right person. RBI’s Twitter post reads: “Do register a nominee in your bank account/locker. It enables easy settlement of claim of depositors”
