Authority Letter to Collect Demand Draft (DD) from the Bank

If you need Demand Drafts (DDs) for some purposes, but you are unable to go to the bank to collect the DDs, then you can authorize someone to collect it on your behalf.

While in case of some of the banks (mostly in rural areas), a signed letter from you authorizing someone would be enough in this regard, however, some banks have their own prescribed pre-printed form for such authorizations.

Please check with your bank first for the format. Here are some formats for your reference. Fill in necessary details and submit it at the bank.
