Can i open bank account without aadhar card

Yes, you can open a bank account in India without an Aadhaar card. According to Supreme Court rulings and RBI guidelines, Aadhaar is not mandatory for regular banking services. You can use other Officially Valid Documents (OVDs) for KYC verification, such as:

• Valid Passport
• Voter ID Card
• Driving Licence
• NREGA Job Card
• Letter from the National Population Register

If you lack any OVD, you can open a "Small Account" by providing a photograph and signing in the presence of a bank official, though certain transaction limits will apply.
