While a large number of people know about how NSC works, they are not aware of the fact that these certificates are transferable to other people, although under certain conditions.

Conditions Under Which an NSC Transfer is Allowed

An NSC transfer is allowed when it’s transferred from:

  • A deceased holder to their legal heir
  • NSC certificate holder to the court of law any other people if/when allowed by the court of law
  • NSC Joint Holders to the name of the joint holders
  • NSC holder to their near relatives such as brother, sister, son, daughter, etc.

The following are some of the key points to remember when pondering over an NSC transfer:

  • You can transfer an NSC at any point from the date of issuance to the date of maturity but only once.
  • A consent from the post master or the head post master is necessary for the NSC transfer.
  • You cannot transfer a portion of the NSC amount. The transfer has to be done in its entirety.
  • Once the transfer has been done, the new owner can also transfer the certificate back to the original owner. However, it’s subjected to the same conditions.

How to Transfer an NSC From One Person to Another?
