Features of Punjab Sind Bank FD

Eligibility- Individuals, Sole Proprietors, partnership firms, Private and Public Limited Companies, HUFs, Specified Associates, Societies, Trusts, Departments of Authority created by Government (Central or State), Limited Liability Partnership.

A joint account with another individual is allowed

With an “Either or Survivor” or “Former or Survivor” mandate, the bank will only allow the surviving joint depositor to withdraw funds before the death of the other joint depositor. This is allowed only if the joint depositor has signed a joint mandate. All Term Deposit account opening forms invariably include conditions through which the account holders can specify their terms.

If no instructions or mandates are received from the customer for not renewing the deposits, the deposit will be auto-renewed. The renewal will be for the same period of time as the matured deposit at the prevailing rate of interest.  The automatic renewal will be applicable for deposits with a maturity value of less than Rs. 2 crores at maturity.  However, auto-renewal is not applicable to PSB Fixed Deposit Tax Saver Scheme, Capital Gain Deposit, Bulk Deposit, and Inter-Bank Deposit.
