Hi All,

I wanted to check with some of the OINP applicants from India if they managed to get a DD which was valid for 6 months.

Most of the banks are issuing it for 3 months only because it is Reserve Bank of India rules. Please advice guys.

Hi,

When did you get this and from which city? It seems that recently Reserve Bank of India has changed their rules for DD validity to 3 months. I verbally checked with HDFC and they told 3 months. Please advice guys.

Konkan Bhavan Branch is it?? Did the DD mention valid for 6 months?

Spot on dude. That's the branch in New Mumbai and yes the DD mentions that it needs revalidation if it is being used after 6 months from the issue date.

Go for SBI. I believe they're still issuing FDD with 6 months validity.

I got it from Malad branch in mid Jan.

I got it from ICICI with 6 months validity and when i checked with HDFC they also told it is 6 months valid. Have you asked specifically international DDs. Domestic DDs will expire in 3 months as per RBI but international DDs have 6 months validity

Yes, I soecifically checked this and told them DD to be made in Canadian Dollars. They told 6 months. On top of it asked me to get Form 15A and 15B filled from chartered Accountant. Nevertheless SBI issued me 6 months DD without much hassles.
 
CitiBank Hyderabad 6 months (Mentioned 180 Days)

No such forms were asked to be filled at SBI.
