How long does it take to open a bank account

Opening a bank account in India can take anywhere from a few minutes to several working days, depending on the method chosen:

• Online/Instant Accounts: Using Aadhaar-based OTP verification and Video KYC, you can open a savings account instantly or within a few minutes from home.
• Offline/Branch Visits: Visiting a bank branch typically takes about an hour for the application process, with account activation usually occurring within 1 to 2 working days.
• Complex Accounts: Current accounts or specific NRI accounts may take 8 to 10 working days for full activation due to additional documentation and verification requirements.
