ℹ️ What is a DEAF Account?
DEAF (Depositor Education and Awareness Fund) is a special fund maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Why are funds transferred to RBI?
When a bank account remains inactive for 10 years or more with no transactions (deposits/withdrawals), the bank is required by law to transfer the balance to the DEAF Fund with RBI. This ensures the money is kept safe and can be claimed by the rightful owner anytime.
