There are around Rs.26,000 crores money which are lying in different banks, post office etc. in India. Out of which some amount may be yours also. 

It happens many times that people do not operate a bank account for long time and then they forget. Or it may be a bank account of your dead relative and you're a nominee there. But you don't know about that.

Reasons are many. Now, the question arises, how to check whether your money is lying somewhere without your notice?
