  1. I think State bank now requires minimum balance in account. It ranges between Rs.2000 to RS.5000 only. Annual maintenance charges (AMC) are also deducted from account holder.

  2. DBS is the best option to go with. Not just for the interest rates but for the secure banking the bank provides to its customers. It is regarded as safe bank.

  3. I prefer choosing a bank with minimum balance requirement. Holding too much balance in saving account doesn’t look to be a good idea. I usually transfer money from savings to other investment alternatives.

  5. Thanks for the detailed info on Savings bank accounts. You have highlighted some really valid factors.But,the reduction in interest on saving bank accounts is really a point of concern.This will drive people to move their savings to a better place like invest in mutual funds,ELSS and other schemes etc. in order to get high returns.

    • Hi, I can understand why you don’t want to take the interest. But, isn’t it possible if we take that interest money and help someone or help the community, just my opinion.

  9. This is a good list of banks for one to go through for a savings bank account !! Yes bank and Kotak offer the best savings interest rate. The Services are also good for Yes bank. But, IDFC bank account is quickest to open saving bank account and has good customer support plus some added benefits.

    These days people have so many good options to open Bank Account. Good Summary !
