What happens if you choose to close SBI account after one year?
According to SBI, for those who choose to close their account after a year, no fee is charged. Similarly, there are no charges for the closure of a regular savings bank account by a customer holding a BSBD or Basic Savings Bank Deposit account with the bank, the website stated.
The public-lender provides various types of savings accounts and one such type is Basic Savings Bank Deposit (BSBD) account. Customers who subscribe to this account are provided with certain special privileges from the bank. For example, a BSBD account holder is not required to maintain a minimum balance according to the bank’s monthly average balance (MAB) rules. The BSBD account offers the same interest rate on deposits as do the regular savings bank accounts.
What is Basic Savings Bank Deposit (BSBD) account?
A ‘basic savings bank deposit’ (BSBD) account, as the name suggests, is an account which does not require customers to maintain any minimum or monthly average balance. A BSBD account also does not require any minimum or maximum limit on the amount. Banks also offer debit cards on this account, and ATM facility, among other services.
