Minimum Balance Requirements and Charges

There are no minimum balance requirements to operate your Current Account.  However, if the total monthly balance of all your accounts with us, such as your Current Account, savings account and fixed deposit account (Monthly Average Balance – MAB) falls below 250 currency units, administrative charges of 3 currency units per month may apply.

The administrative charges shall be calculated by adding the daily closing balance of all accounts under your customer ID with us for a particular month and dividing it by the total number of days for that particular month. In case the account is in dormant status, the charges are levied on the account. In case the account is in freeze status, the charges are not applied. In case an account has been opened during the running month, then the account will be exempted from application of MAB charges for that month. However, from next month, the account will be considered for MAB charges with the logic given above. These charges will be levied on the Current Account only.
