The Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs) had

(i) Postal Directorate has
been receiving various references from Field Units and other stakeholders citing difficulties in use of separate forms for each Savings Scheme as well as
serious issues in printing/ procurement and ensuring availability of all these forms in all the Post Offices (Including EDBOS) doing POSB operations. The
issue was examined and deliberated in detail by this office in consultation
with NSI and since this is a purely operational issue, the competent authority
has decided to allow use of the following common forms by the all Post Offices, instead of separate form for each scheme:-
1) Application form for Opening of Account/ Purchase of Certificate (AOF)
2) Pay-in Slip (SB-103)
3) Application form for Closure of
Account on Maturity. (SB-7A)
4) Application form for Premature
Closure of Account. (SB-7B)
5) Application form for
Loan/withdrawal from RD/PPF and SSA Accounts (SB-7C)
6) Application form for extension of RD/ TD/ PPF/ SCSS Accounts.
(ii) Additional form (Annexure-I) prescribed for PPF/SCSS vide SB Order 06/2015 dated 09.06.2015 shall be discontinued.
(iii) For normal
withdrawal from Post Office Savings/ NSS-87 Accounts and withdrawal of
periodical interest from TD/ MIS/ SCSS accounts, existing withdrawal form (SB-7)
shall continue to be used.
(iv) While using AOF,
non-CBS post offices may ignore SOL/CIF ID related fields (as they would not be
there) till the Post Office is migrated to CBS.
(v) While opening of new accounts, a separate form
(Annexure II) (prescribed vide SB Order 06.2015 dated 09.06.2015) should also
be taken by CBS Post Offices from new customers/depositor (not having CBS
