Comment:
I have seen the decision on the website of the RTI Foundation of India. Under RTI, the account details can be provide to authorized signatories only as per the orders on your site.
My question is if a person has a saving account in bank and that person passed away, can his wife file RTI to see the account opening form?
Reason of filing RTI. nominee not shown in computer system. It is also possible that the nominee may not have been filled in the computer system by the bank.
Thanks

Legally, the heir can seek the copy of the account opening form.
