Answers:
Why indulge in all other legal formalities, just let him issue you a cheque of the Indian bank for getting prepared a bank draft in his favor to be paid in his foreign account bank take that cheque & get the bank draft prepared in his favor to be paid in his foreign bank account, that will solve all your problems. Only thing is take a blank bank cheque only as you are not sure how much amount is there in his account & the amount you have to pay as commission for getting this foreign bank draft, the banker in India will tell the details when you meet them. You can even get this amount electronically transferred from his Indian bank to his foreign bank account for that you must also carry the swift number & all other details of his foreign bank account (all these details can be obtained from the foreign bank with regards to Indian bank)with you & a letter from him addressed to the Manager of the Indian Bank for this transfer, even get a letter of authority in your favor for getting all these transactions carried on his behalf, this letter should be signed by him & witnessed by two adult witnesses & notarized, in case the bank ask for his authority letter in your favor.
There are court authorised people (lawyers) who help you in this process. They call here in India as "NOTARY". You have go with you matter and they get it typed and ask you to sign under. Then they put some court fee stamps and register your Affidavit in their book. Hope this helps you. If you need any help reg. when you get to India call on 09849494912. You are most welcome for a suggestion.

Simply ask your grandpa to communicate, in writing, with his specimen signature (as recorded with the Bank), to the Bank to transfer the desired amount from his account to the BANK where he leaves. The details of (a) Bank's Branch name, address, (b) His account number, where he wants to transfer the fund, should be clearly mentioned in his letter of instructions to the Bank in India.
That will do.
The Bank, immediately after such transfer, would intimate the account holder (your grandpa) in confirmation.
The question and sub-text vastly differ.
Affidavits are statements made on oath before an authorised person like a judicial magistrate,executive magistrate,notary, or public authority. The usual draft is like this:-
I, xxxx, aged about nn years, son/daughter/wife of yyyy, residing at AAAAA, do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:
1.that ''''
2.that ''''
...
Verification
I, xxxx, do hereby verify that whatever has been stated above, in paragraphs 1 to N are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief and that my name, address and signature are correct.
Signed at ----, on this --- day of ---- (month) -----(year).
Deponent
Identified by me
Advocate
Sworn to before me
Notary.
The contents of the affidavit are to be segmented in sequence, and chronological order relative to the subject being stated. and the purpose for which it is stated. Each affidavit will vary in content.
Regarding bank account balance to be transferred abroad, since Indian currency is not convertible per se it is not possible. But there are exceptions to this and puposes and extent of remittance are specified from time to time and the bank manager would know the current rule. So, it is better to send a letter duly signed by the account holder directly to the Bank, by post and also by email to elicit information about the rule in force, clearly specifying the purpose and amount. Also, a copy of these can be taken alongwith a duly signed cheque and the pass book, alongwith a letter of authority, authorising you, to operate the bank account, (it is preferable to get the prescribed form by accessing the website of the bank, and requisitioning the format if not possible to be downloaded, by email), so that during personal interaction with the bank officials, you can take spot decision and sign necessary instructions.
Note: The authorisation letter should contain the name and address of the person authorised in capital letters, and a sample signature of the authorised person to be appended at the bottom in a box, and below that the account holder, shall write in his handwriting, "the above signature of XXXX attested" and sign below, besides the usual signature at the end of the letter.
Care: Signature of the account holder should tally with the specimen on record of the bank, to be acted upon. Lest it will be rejected. So, it would be better to think,recall, and sign.
