  • Only Indian locations are covered by DDs. Any DD that has an overseas address or to a recipient address where service is not available results in cancellation of the draft and banks sends the credit back to the applicant's account. Bank does not charge your account in any way.
  • A draft is revoked and funds are credited to an applicant's account if DDs are found undeliverable from the beneficiary's address. Banks deduct the applicant's account only for DD fees and any corresponding bank fees.
  • Any DD addressed to an Indian mailing address that is returned as undeliverable is sent to the branch.
