To open a bank account in India, you typically need to provide the following essential documents:
- Proof of Identity: Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License.
- Proof of Address: Aadhaar card, utility bills (electricity, water, or gas), or a recent bank statement.
- Photographs: Recent passport-sized photographs.
- PAN Card: Mandatory for most financial transactions and tax purposes.
While most savings accounts require you to be 18 years or older, minors can open accounts with a guardian's assistance. Many banks also offer online account opening via video KYC for added convenience.
