    life certificate duly notarised by the bank in abroad and self-attested is sent to the PAYING BANK OF A SCHEDULE BANK FOR THEIR RECORD BY E-MAIL. IS IT NECESSARY TO SEND THE HARD COPY OF THE LIFE CERTIFICATE BY POST ALSO? THERE ARE POSSIBILITIES THAT THE LIFE CERTIFICATES MAY BE LOST IN TRANSIT. I SUGGEST THAT THE LIFE CERTIFICATE SENT BY E-MAIL BE TAKEN AS A DOCUMENT FOR RECORD.
