On 16th October 2025, under the leadership of the State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) Punjab, a mega awareness camp was organized in Kapurthala district, Punjab. Shri Ramkishor Meena, Deputy General Manager, Punjab National Bank, informed that the Lead District Manager coordinated with all financial institutions to organize this large-scale camp as per the guidelines of the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India.
Senior officials from banks, insurance, pension, and mutual fund departments participated in the event. Shri Meena explained that if a bank deposit remains unclaimed for 10 years, the amount is transferred to the Reserve Bank of India. The camp provided detailed information on how individuals can claim their unclaimed bank deposits, mutual funds, and insurance amounts.
Such awareness camps are being organized across all states to ensure that the unclaimed deposits are returned to their rightful owners, nominees, or legal heirs. The Ministry of Finance has launched the “Your Capital – Your Right” awareness campaign, which will run from 1st October 2025 to 31st December 2025. In the coming days, similar awareness camps will be held in every district.
