Every time you wish to open a savings account, you might have heard about a zero balance savings account. Do you know what is a zero balance savings account? It is a type of savings account where you are not required to maintain a minimum balance, i.e. your account balance can go down to Rs. 0 and it won’t attract any penalties.
It can be a difficult task to maintain a minimum balance in the account. A majority of banks in India keep a minimum balance limit of Rs. 5,000 – Rs. 10,000 per account to maintain. Such a requirement may become problematic for those of us who earn just enough to meet our requirements.
