How to handle SCSS Death Closure within lock up period?

After sanction of death claim case, account closure form alongwith Passbook is to be sent to HO (if account stands at SO). . Only Supervisor of HPO can close the account by following the process given below and Postmaster of HPO has to verify the transaction:-

a). First Supervisor has to invoke HINTTM menu and give the SCSS account number and choose SBRATE and give start date as Date of death and Verifier can verify the same record.

This is done to ensure until date of death, SCSS rate is given to customer and from date of death till date only SB rate will be given to customer.
