To open a bank account in India, you must provide documents for identification and address verification as per KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines. Typically required documents include:
- Proof of Identity: Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License.
- Proof of Address: Aadhaar card, recent utility bills (electricity, water, or gas), or a valid rent agreement.
- Recent passport-size photographs.
While Aadhaar and PAN are the most commonly used documents, specific requirements may vary slightly between banks. It is advisable to check with your chosen bank for any additional needs.
