Can I open a bank account in another city?

Yes, you can open a savings bank account in any city in India, regardless of your permanent address. According to RBI guidelines, banks cannot deny account opening based on your location. If you are staying in a different city, you only need to provide one documentary proof of address, such as your Aadhaar card or Passport. If your current address differs from your permanent one, you can simply provide a self-declaration of the local address for communication purposes.
