(a) Except for accounts that provide for a specified contractual time or notice before withdrawal or are subject to a pledge, a depositor may at any time present a written order for withdrawal of all or any part of the depositor's account.

(b) Every association shall either pay, or shall number, date, and file in the order of actual receipt every withdrawal order.

(c) Withdrawals shall be made in the order of actual receipt of orders except as otherwise provided by this chapter or by regulation of the commissioner.

(d) Upon order, an association shall pay the amount of the withdrawal order or the withdrawal value of the account; provided, that the association shall not be required to honor any withdrawal order that exceeds the withdrawal value of the account.

(e) The commissioner shall by regulation establish the rules and procedures to apply in the event the association is unable to pay immediately all orders for withdrawal as made, including a rotation plan or any other plan for equitable payment of withdrawals, the payment in full of accounts of less than a specified amount and the application of receipts to withdrawals.

(f) The commissioner may prescribe the circumstances and conditions under which the failure of the association to pay withdrawals as applied for shall be deemed the conduct of its business in an unsound or imprudent manner so as to empower the commissioner to take possession of an association or to take other remedial action as provided by this chapter.
