Cash withdrawals shall be subject to the following conditions:
1. A maximum of Rs 250000/- is allowed to be withdrawn from the bank deposit accounts till December 30, 2016 out of the balances at credit in the account as at close of business on November 08, 2016.2. Withdrawals are permitted only from accounts which are fully KYC compliant.
3. The amounts can be withdrawn only if the date of marriage is on or before December 30, 2016.
4. Withdrawals can be made by either of the parents or the person getting married. (Only one of them will be permitted to withdraw).
5. Since the amount proposed to be withdrawn is meant to be used for cash disbursements, it has to be established that the persons for whom the payment is proposed to be made do not have a bank account.
6. The application for withdrawal shall be accompanied by following documents:
-An application as per Annex
-Evidence of the wedding, including the invitation card, copies of receipts for advance payments already made, such as Marriage hall booking, advance payments to caterers, etc.
-A detailed list of persons to whom the cash withdrawn is proposed to be paid, together with a declaration from such persons that they do not have a bank account. The list should indicate the purpose for which the proposed payments are being made
Banks shall keep a proper record of the evidence and produce them for verification by the authorities in case of need. The scheme will be reviewed based on authenticity/ bona fide use thereof.
