Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account' (BSBDA)
Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account (BSBDA) makes it
convenient for all(including poor and weaker sections) to avail of basic
banking services without any fees or charges, and without maintaining any
minimum balance in the account. Banks are required to convert the existing
'no-frills' accounts’ into 'Basic Savings Bank Deposit Accounts'. All the
existing 'No-Frill' accounts may be treated as BSBDA accounts from the date of
the circular i.e., August 22, 2012.
An individual is eligible to have only one 'Basic Savings
Bank Deposit Account' in one bank. Holders of 'Basic Savings Bank Deposit
Account' will not be eligible for opening any other savings account in that
bank. If a customer has any other existing savings account in that bank, he /
she will be required to close it within 30 days from the date of opening a
'Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account'.
One can have Term/Fixed Deposit, Recurring Deposit etc.,
accounts in the bank where one holds 'Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account'. The
'Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account' should be considered as a normal banking
service available to all customers, through branches.. The aim of introducing
'Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account' is very much part of the efforts of RBI
for furthering Financial Inclusion
objectives. Banks should offer the ATM Debit Cards free of charge and no Annual
fee should be levied on such Cards.
