Generally, current accounts in India do not offer interest on the balances maintained. These accounts are specifically designed for businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals who handle high-frequency transactions and require features like overdraft facilities and high withdrawal limits. However, some banks provide specialized "auto-sweep" facilities. With this feature, funds exceeding a pre-set threshold are automatically shifted into term deposits to earn interest, effectively combining the liquidity of a current account with the earnings of a fixed deposit.
