NSC certificates : Damaged by fire accident at home, how to get duplicate NSC?

[Saksham]

I had purchased NSC certificates in my name and due to a fire accident at home, do not have them with me anymore. However, I do have PARTLY BURNT CERTIFICATE. which reflect amounts AND CERT. Nos. with which the NSC certificates have been purchased. I understand there is a way to retrieve the duplicates from GPO in DELHI. Request you to advise the method to retrieve the duplicates.
