Whether Money from Bank can be withdrawn by beneficiaries without succession certificate/ or probation? Is it necessary to give an official letter to the bank manager? My father also left a Will.

Since your father made a Will, you will have to get the will probated in a court.

Succession certificate applies only where there is no will. Without probate, bank will not allow you to withdraw money.
