Before you send it
- Go in person with your original identity and address proof. Reactivation needs fresh KYC.
- Carry the passbook and any old cheque book or card of the account.
- Do a small deposit or withdrawal the same day, as the branch advises, so the account shows activity.
- Under Reserve Bank of India rules, a savings or current account is treated as inoperative when there is no customer transaction for more than two years. Ask the branch for the current rule if you are unsure.
What to attach
- Recent passport-size photograph
- Self-attested identity proof and address proof
- Passbook
