Can I open a new bank account online?

Yes, you can open a new bank account online in India through a bank's official website or mobile app. This digital process is paperless and convenient. Most Indian banks use Aadhaar-based e-KYC for instant identity verification. You will typically need your Aadhaar card linked to your mobile number for OTP verification and a PAN card. Many banks also offer Video KYC, which allows a bank official to verify your original documents and signature remotely via a live video call, eliminating the need to visit a branch.
