Regional Rural Banks Dear
Sir, 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.
Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) 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.
RRBs may also ensure that their branches give proper guidance so that the parents
/ relatives of the disabled persons do not face any difficulty in this regard.
5. Please acknowledge receipt to our Regional Office concerned. Yours
faithfully
(C.S.Murthy)
Chief General Manager in-Charge
