All the dept. of our country i.e. Banks, SEBI, Companies , Post Office do not accept UNREGISTERED WILL , though Indian Succession Act does not require compulsory registration. There is a long process required for getting the shares transmitted, Locker Operation ,Withdrawl from Post Office /Banks. It is very difficult to obtain succession certificate or probate. It is a costly and time consuming affair.Though probate is not required except in presidency towns of Bombay and Madras yet it is required almost everywhere. I.T. RETURN is also not accepted by CPC for want of succession certificate/registered will. It is suggested that unregistered wills should be accepted by all depts. They may take undertaking from other heirs about no objection for will.There should be procedural simplification/instructions.

yes i agree with your point of concern and it is very imprtant that it should be very simple and very fast with maximum time of one month to tranfer the property of the deceased after his death.It should be divided in equal ratio to all the family members if ther is no written and registered will. The number of his family members and their names should be attested and certified by the concerned sdm with mc/sarpanch, two members of family and two person of neibhourhood jointly as witnesses and confirming .If there is registered WILLl of the deceased which should also be attested and certified by the concern sdm with mc/sarpanch, two members of family and two person of neibhourhood as witness and confirming then it should be applicable . further govt should also get some tax if the amount of such transfer is of very high value say more then tweenty lacs to each family member in whole of his/her life so that when one get property from his parents which is earning of his parents then govt should also get some tax so that that tax amount is to be distributed to the poorest person of india. Hoping for favourable action in this regard for the benefit of general public. ca ashwani k sharma 94170-27919 Convenor,BJP CA CELL PATHANKOT more
