COMMENTS
that in case of a joint account, or where the spouse is the sole nominee, the spouse
may continue the account on the same terms and conditions as specified under these rules: THER SPOUSE CAN CONTINUE WITH belowe 60 year
No. It mentioned as “same terms and conditions as specified under the rules” . The rule is only Senior citizens SAVINGS SAVINGS. Normally in the case of death of spouse can continued because after the death of the spouse nominee may be crossed sixty years in that case he/she cannot open new account or the account may not to close joint account. Since the scheme is after 5 years & in every 3 years of blocks to continue.
