There had been complaints from some places about the availability of the Account Opening Forms due to huge rush and certain people taking advantage of such situation. In view of this, an advertisement has been issued in all major Newspapers where the Account Opening Form has been published. Anybody desirous of opening an account can come and take this Application Form to the nearest bank branch/bank mitr for opening the account. This one page Account Opening Form is also available on the website of the Department www.financialservices.gov.in .
RBI has issued guidelines dated 26th August, 2014, where people who do not have officially valid documents or Aadhaar Numbers can still get bank accounts opened by submitting two (2) copies of signed photographs at the bank branch. However, these accounts will be called small accounts and shall normally be valid for 12 months and shall be continued subject to showing of proof that he/she has applied for any of the officially valid document within 12 months of opening of such ‘Small Account’’. These accounts have certain limitations such as balance at any point of time should not exceed Rs. 50,000/-, total credit in one year should not exceed Rs. one lac, and total withdrawal should not exceed Rs. 10,000/- in a month.
