18 November 2011 1) The amount can be withdrawn by filing the prescribed form called as 'form H'.
2) The unutilised amount can't be taxed in the hands of the deceased. Like wise the amount is not taxable in the hands of the legal heirs as the unutilised portion of the deposit does not partake the character of income in their hands but is only a part of the estate devolving upon them.
