I am an old man suffering from several diseases. There is n body in Lucknow who can look after my NSS account . The credit balance in 1994 was about Rs. 36,000/-.. I have not gone to Lucknow after 1994. How can I get money back at Ahmedabad.
Whether with this withdrawal, all above saving schemes will become unsecure for new account holders..? Will you Pls clearify the impact of that withdrawl. ?
Whether all these becoming unsecure for new accounts now… pls clearify the impact of this.
Does this mean that the schemes are not available with immediate effect. ?
But what replaces it ? You should have informed that too. These schemes cannot be without any rule.
