What Are Axis Bank Unclaimed Deposits?

Axis Bank's unclaimed deposit includes all the funds of your savings or current accounts and term deposits that have not been used or claimed for the last 10 years. Axis Bank transfers these funds or amounts to Depositor Education and Awareness (DEA) Funds. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintains this DEA fund and allows you to get back your unclaimed deposits when you plan on claiming it.

Axis Bank reports the funds that have not been used for the last 10 years are marked as unclaimed deposits to the Reserve Bank of India, and they then transfer them to Depositor Education and Awareness (DEA) Funds.
