In such cases of conversion, the remaining period of the fixed deposit should be six months or above this period.
Conversion of the deposit may be effected only from the date on which the conversion is sought for by the Depositor, (and not from any retrospective date), without invoking penal provision.
The rate of interest up to the date of conversion, shall be the rate applicable for the period as operative under the scheme on the date of deposit, during which the deposit remained with the Bank up to the date of conversion and in respect of the period thereafter, at the rate of interest applicable under the scheme on the date of conversion for the period equal to the period of conversion.
Interest accrued, if any, up to the date of conversion may be paid and excess payment of interest, if any, should be recovered from the party, before complying with his instructions.
Procedure: The under noted procedure will be followed while allowing conversion.
The existing deposit receipt should be cancelled and filed with the relative voucher and a new one be issued, in lieu thereof with the inscription “converted into Maturity Modality/Income Modality (as the case may be) in lieu of Fixed Deposit Account No. ______ dated _______ for Rs. ________ @ _________ for ________ months.
