How to separate a joint account?

 

To separate the joint account holder’s name you need to delete the name of the second account holder. Here is the step-by-step guide on joint bank account separation.

 
  1. After visiting the bank, the authorities will provide you with a form to delete the name of the other bank account holder. You can also download the form from the bank’s website. The deletion form should be signed and filled out by both account holders.

  2. Details such as account number and type of account should be mentioned in the form. Guardian’s name is required if the account holder whose name should be deleted is a minor.

  3. Account holders can also change the mode of operation to joint. Survivor, or single. 

  4. If the account holder’s name is being deleted, he/she should return the Debit/ATM cards or sign a declaration stating the cards have been destroyed.

  5. The old cheque book won't remain valid. Therefore, the account holder must request a new chequebook. Unused cheques should be returned to the bank.

  6. The first or primary account holder’s name cannot be deleted.
