ICICI Tax saving bond redemption

POSTED BY Amol Patgaonkar ON May 26, 2013 12:19 pm COMMENTS (29)

Hello,

My mother had put 20K in ICICI tax saving bond. Redemption date was in 2004, but my mother forgot to do the redemption.

My mother tried to redempt it, but could not.

After querying with the bank, bank told that the redemption cheque was sent to the old address. And as the money was not redempted, the base amount(20K) has gone to the government and only gave us the interst of 3K. They told us that the 20 K amount is gone and we would not be able to get it.

Is this true…can someone help in this?

 

Thanks,

Amol

    1. A lot of people seem to have confusion about how to encash ICICI bonds. This reflects very poorly on the company.
    2. Instead of keep repeating the answer you do not know. How about contacting ICICI finding out the process to redeem these bonds and posting it for your users. ?

    1. But sir, Thats exactly what the people who are asking that should be done. THis blog is not a customer care, its a blog to get education on matters related to finance.

    Hi,

    This forum is so good that a common man like me gets such useful information, free of cost. Every now and then I keep visiting this forum and see if I get more knowledge and share mine with others.

    With this query, I have gained some more information. I have purchased some infrastructure bond (online through HDFC Sec) about 2.5 yrs in order to save tax, now I have moved out of the city and relocated to another city. I have updated my contact details almost every where but forgot about the infra bonds.

    Thanks to the question above and now I shall immediately take an action so as to avoid any problems in future. I was thinking even if I don’t update my address, money will come to my bank account (as purchase was online) but then updating address would be a better idea. Better safe than sorry.

    this has happened to me also, i had IDBI tax saving bond, before maturity i have changed city.

    what you have to do in this case if you have original copy of the bond, contact to the registrar of the bond, have to give written application for redemption, definitely you will get maturity amount but i’m not sure the interest part after year 2004.

    Visiting ICICI Bank will not work, you will have to contact the registrar, you can get it in your bond copy.

    Regards
    Angan

  20. Dear Amol, Please try to get more details. I don’t think that there was any such provisions for depositing the unclaimed amount to Govt. of India. Even if, it was so, where should you claim, ask from the same set of people. In all probability, these guys are not telling you the truth.

    If you do have bond certificate with you, please contact the RTA of the bond.

    You ‘ll get the answer from RTA.

    Thanks

    Ashal
