Actually such a scenario wouldn't occur. When a bank account is closed, the bank would release all the funds held in that account to the account holder on the same day the account is closed. Even if they can't do it immediately, they would have sent a check to the customer by post/mail. Banks cannot hold on to the funds of a bank account that was closed. It is mandatory for them to return the funds to the customer once his account is closed.
