The Chief Executive Officers,
All State / Central Co-operative Banks (StCBs/DCCBs)
Dear Sir/Madam,
Legal Guardianship Certificate issued under the National
Trust Act, 1999 empowering the disabled persons with autism,
cerebral palsy, mental retardation and multiple disabilities
We have been advised by the National Trust for the Welfare of
Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and
Multiple Disabilities (the Trust) that a question has been raised
as to whether the banks and the banking sector can accept the
guardianship certificates in regard to persons with disabilities
issued by the Local Level Committees set up under the National
Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy,
Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999.
2. The Trust has mentioned that the above Act was specifically
passed by the Parliament in order to provide for appointment of
legal guardians for persons with disability that is covered under
the said Act. The above Act provides for appointment of legal
guardians for persons with disability by the Local Level
Committees set up under the Act. The Trust has opined that a
legal guardian so appointed can open and operate the bank
account as long as he remains the legal guardian. It may also
be noted that the provisions of Mental Health Act, 1987 also
allows appointment of Guardian by District Courts.
3. Banks are therefore advised to rely upon the
Guardianship Certificate issued either by the District Court under
Mental Health Act or by the Local Level Committees under the above
Act for the purposes of opening / operating bank accounts.
A list of Local Level Committees received from the above Trust is
enclosed.
4. Banks may also ensure that their branches give proper guidance
so that the parents / relatives of the disabled persons do not
face any difficultiy in this regard.
5. Please acknowledge receipt to our Regional Office concerned.
Yours faithfully
(C.S.Murthy)
Chief General Manager in-Charge
