My co-brother passed away on 2nd June and my sister-in-law wants to settle his PPF account. She is nominee in the account but unfortunately she has lost the PPF account passbook, however she has the account number and branch details. We visited the branch last week and collected the necessary forms for the claim but the manager asked us that it is compulsary to bring the passbook while submitting the claim form. I would like to know if it is necessary to have passbook as the same could be easily re-issued by the SBI branch as they do have the complete record of this account, please advice.
