The Reserve Bank of India has launched a centralised web portal – UDGAM (Unclaimed Deposits – Gateway to Access information) – which will enable bank customers to find their unclaimed deposits. In a statement, the RBI said this portal will make it easier for the public to search their unclaimed deposits across multiple banks in one place.
It is estimated that the total amount of unclaimed deposits in India is Rs 35,000 crore while numerous accounts have been forgotten or overlooked.
The UDGAM portal will ease the process of redeeming unclaimed deposits. The new centralised web portal will be the perfect platform for the users to search and identify their unclaimed deposits/accounts across multiple banks through a single window.
