[Resolved]  Unit Trust Of India — closing of account

Address:

Madurai, Tamil Nadu

I had purchased 100 units under the children's Growth fund scheme 1986 form Unit Trus of India in the name of my son P.Samuel Abhishek on 17th August 1993. Now that the bond is matured I would like the amount to be credited to my son. When I contacted the local office in Madurai Tamilnadu they said that I have to courier the original document to the Bombay office. My only apprehension is that if the original document gets misplaced I will not have any documents to claim my dues. If the local office accepts the documents and gives me some acknowledgement and then forward the document form their office there will be some authenticatio. I need clarity in how to proceed . I tried to contact them over phone but every time I spoke the calls got disconnected when it was connected from one department to another. Kindly help me to get proper guidance in this regard.
