Hey @Avis , I booked a car to pick up tonight--I'm President's Club--but my flight was delayed. When I got to the airport at 2:30 AM, there was no way to pick up my car, so I'm stranded at the airport until you open at 8:00 AM. Ridiculously bad customer service.
Most Indians believe that the person they name as nominee on their bank account will get that money when they die. That belief is wrong, and it has torn families apart.
Here is what the law actually says.
Under Indian law, a nominee is not the owner of your money. A nominee is only a trustee. That means the bank will hand the balance to the nominee after your death, but the nominee is legally required to pass it on to your legal heirs, the people entitled to inherit under succession law. Receiving the money and owning the money are two different things.
This is not a small technical point. It is settled law. The Supreme Court laid it down decades ago and reaffirmed it firmly in a judgment in 2023.
A nomination, the court said, is simply a convenience. It gives the bank a single safe person to release the funds to, so the bank is not caught between fighting relatives. It was never meant to decide who finally owns the money.
The same rule applies almost everywhere. Bank accounts, fixed deposits, shares, mutual funds and provident fund. In all of them, the nominee holds the money in trust for the legal heirs.
There is one real exception. In life insurance, the law allows certain close family nominees, a spouse, parents or children, to keep the proceeds, though even here the High Courts have not fully agreed.
There is one more thing you must know because false claims about it are spreading online. In November 2025, the rules changed to let you name up to four nominees on a bank account instead of one.
Many social media posts claimed this finally lets you pass your money directly to whoever you choose. That is not true. You can now name four nominees instead of one, but all of them still receive the money as trustees for your legal heirs. The doctrine did not change. Only the number did.
So what actually protects your family? One thing above all, a valid Will. A Will overrides a nomination. If you want a specific person to truly own what you leave behind, name them in a properly made Will, not just on a nomination form.
Nomination decides who collects your money. A Will decides who keeps it. Most families learn the difference at the worst possible time.

Walked into CJB airport. Shocked by the antics of @IndiGo6E staff.
Aishwarya at the ticketing counter was curt rude and most unhelpful.
But her behaviour was not as shocking as this counter staff Prem's - I was just about to check in my baggage when he got up from behind the counter to leave. But instead of walking around the counter, he leapt onto the baggage belt and jumped off with a swagger.
Clearly, this seems to be regular practice, because nobody batted an eyelid. I protested, he walked off , leaving the embarrassed other staff to apologise.
So... Is it just me?
Bullying on the Pune Mumbai Pragati Express is out of control as pass holders block seats with bags. Genuine passengers are being denied their rights by these thugs. Central Railway must stop this lawlessness and punish these bullies immediately now.
Mera Airtel recharge abhi 3-4 din baaki hai, lekin internet service bahut kharab chal rahi hai. Network hone ke bawajood data kaam nahi kar raha. Aaj Portugal ka FIFA World Cup match dekhna hai, lekin slow internet ki wajah se streaming nahi ho pa rahi 🥺😡 .#airtal@airtelindia
Dear @AxisBank , despite multiple complaints, I am still receiving excessive collection calls every day. Sometimes 10–15 calls within 5 minutes and over 100 calls in a day. This continuous calling is causing severe mental stress and harassment. Please stop the excessive calls😑
