To open a bank account in India, you must provide documents complying with KYC norms. The primary requirements include:

• Proof of Identity: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License.
• Proof of Address: Aadhaar, utility bills (electricity/water), or a rent agreement.
• PAN Card: Mandatory for most accounts; otherwise, Form 60 must be submitted.

Additional documents may be required for minors, joint accounts, or business entities like sole proprietorships and companies. Always check with your specific bank for any additional local requirements.
