13. Can a bankrupt open a bank account or continue using his existing account?

Once declared bankrupt, his existing account shall be deactivated and all transactions will be debarred. However, a bankrupt may open a new bank account or continue using his existing account for reasons such as crediting his salary or any other reasonable reasons provided he obtains the permission of the DGI. The application has to be made at the MdI branch that administers his bankruptcy case.
