AgriGold victims asked to produce original bonds for verification

The Andhra Pradesh CID has appealed to AgriGold depositors, victims, nominees, legal heirs and agents to bring their original bonds and receipts for verification at designated centres, and clarified that the original documents will only be examined and need not be surrendered.

The appeal on Tuesday (October 6, 2026) follows the recent decision of the five-member Group of Ministers constituted by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to review issues concerning AgriGold depositors and facilitate relief to victims. Special teams are being constituted at designated locations to verify and register original AgriGold bonds and receipts.

Living depositors have been asked to produce the original bond, signed colour photocopy, Aadhaar, PAN, bank passbook, latest photograph and mobile numbers, besides agent details if available. Nominees of deceased depositors must submit the bond, death certificate, identity documents, family certificate, bank details and photograph.

Where both the depositor and nominee are deceased, legal heirs must produce the relevant death certificates, identity documents, legal-heir or family certificate, bank details and other prescribed records. Depositors unable to attend personally can authorise a family member by providing proof of relationship and an authorisation letter.

Agents submitting bonds must show each original bond, submit signed colour copies, record individual bond numbers and provide their Aadhaar, PAN, bank details, photograph, mobile number and agent code.

The CID said all details, including bond numbers, should be clearly visible and the colour copies must be signed by the depositor, nominee or legal heir. An acknowledgement receipt will be issued for documents submitted.

Verification centres are being established at the district police headquarters of the 13 erstwhile districts and will function from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. District-wise addresses and dates will be announced separately.

In Guntur, CID DSP Sk. Abdul Basheer (9642770250) and IOP T. Sanjeevi Kumar (9959821456) are the designated officers and depositors are requested to consult them.
