Does nominee in RBI 8% tax saving Bond continue to receive interest after death of the original investor?

Question

My father had invested Rs 2 lakh in RBI 8% tax saving bonds (obtained through Oriental Bank of Commerce) on individual capacity with my mother as nominee. He was drawing half yearly interest from it. Recently he expired.
Now I would like to know weather my mother can continue to receive the interest payment with the Bond transferred in her name . The bond has not yet matured.

Answer 1

Yes that is why she is the nominee. Plz inform the bank about the expiry with a death certificate.

Answer 2

Yes.
