Zero Balance current accounts are provided by Kotak, BOB, IDFC, IndusInd, Yes and AU.Is there any bank in India which is providing Zero Maintaining Balance Current Account which can be opened through Digitally & having free debit card & free sms alert facilities?
Thanks
If I select ZERO MAB then which is the best one, basic purpose is for taking UPI payments. I was going through BOB LITE Current Account, how is it? Do they provide virtual dc on BOB WORLD for this variant?You have to choose one, either keep MAB then you will get free debit + SMS or be ready to pay for both if you dont want to keep MAB.

Easiest to open of all i mentioned. You get a physical DC. You can block that and apply for a virtual DC. BUT all transactions except UPI are chargeable, including NEFT and RTGS.If I select ZERO MAB then which is the best one, basic purpose is for taking UPI payments.

What is folio charges, why it's importantHow is AU Bank Digital Current Account? Does it have hidden charges like BOB LITE CURRENT ACCOUNT has folio charges but the bank didn't declare it on the product page. Pls confirm those who are using AU BANK Current Account.
Does AU Bank provide virtual debit card instead of using the physical card?

No but they will ask for 2 business proofs. Udyam+PETC is best for an Individual and Udyam+GST/Gumasta seems to be best for any type of business entity.How is AU Bank Digital Current Account?

This thread is for Current Account which can be opened with Zero AMB facility. BOB Lite Curtent account does have folio charges (Rs 147) beyond 25 entries & all other digital outward transactions are chargeable like NEFT/IMPS/RTGS even after initiating through ADC. Otherwise, BOB Lite Current Account is one of the best available Zero AMB in the market but charges on digital transactions are making it less attractive.Only for non-ADC transactions beyond the free limit of 50.
