How to activate bank account

To activate a bank account in India, you generally need to follow these steps:
  • Visit your nearest bank branch with valid identity and address proof like Aadhaar or PAN card.
  • Submit a formal reactivation request or a fresh KYC (Know Your Customer) form.
  • Deposit a minimum amount into the account, as required by the bank's policy.
  • Perform a small transaction, such as a withdrawal or a balance inquiry at an ATM, to ensure the account is fully operational.
For inactive or dormant accounts, completing the KYC process is mandatory to resume banking services.
