How to Claim Money in Unclaimed Bank Deposits

All of us keep money in our bank accounts – in the savings account and term deposits (also known as fixed deposits). We consciously try to save and invest our hard-earned money. And bank deposits are a popular choice.

Term Deposits comprise 58.5% of total deposits in India, according to data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as of March 31, 2023.
