How many days to open a bank account

Opening a bank account in India typically takes between 15 minutes and 3 working days. The timeline depends on the application method:

• Digital Accounts: Using Aadhaar-based e-KYC and Video KYC, accounts can be opened and activated almost instantly, often within 15 to 30 minutes.
• In-Person Applications: Visiting a bank branch for physical document verification usually takes 1 to 3 working days for the account to become fully operational.
• Welcome Kits: While the account is active sooner, physical debit cards and chequebooks generally arrive via post within 7 to 10 working days.
