• In case of SCSS account with joint holder, if first depositor expires and also if the second depositor is below 60 then when we follow above procedure system will give the error "age out of allowed range" in this case we have to correct manually in passbook by collecting the necessary documents from the customer.
• As per POSB norms even if the second depositor is below 60 yrs also he/she can continue the account in case of first depositor expires.
