Savings Account
A Savings Account for all your needs
After slogging for countless hours, Panjim-based John Decosta has cleared the JEE Advanced examination and has been admitted to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai.
As the date of his son’s departure to Mumbai got nearer, his father Francis spoke to his Axis Bank Relationship Manager (RM) about opening a savings account for John. That way, his parents could transfer money into that account and John could manage his expenses.

Francis thought that a Basic Savings Account would be ideal for John. But his RM gave him a slightly different advice. She suggested that John should opt for a Digital Easy Access Savings Account instead. She explained the difference between the two kinds of accounts.
Basic Savings Account
This form of savings account is one of the critical components of the Indian government's financial inclusive initiative called Jan Dhan Yojna (JDY). This is a no-frills account that comes with a RuPay debit card and zero-balance facility.
Digital Easy Access Savings Account
Digital Savings Accounts are brand-new account products that one can open with a bank without visiting branches. You can complete the process in five minutes and avail all the facilities you would get with a regular bank account. You don't have to stand in line or wait for a bank executive to help you out with this.
Documents Needed
- Aadhar number
- PAN number
- An active mobile number, registered in your name and linked to your Aadhar account
- Valid and active email address
In addition to the documents, you also need an internet-enabled device like a laptop, smartphone or tablet with a camera. This is required for the video KYC process.
The Account Opening Process
- The first step is to visit the bank’s website and go to account opening and click on Axis Bank ASAP Instant Savings Account.
- On the application page, fill in the details required – name, address, age, gender and family details. You will then also have to enter your PAN and Aadhar number.
- The system generates an OTP that is sent to the mobile number linked to your Aadhar. This is to confirm your Aadhar number.
- The next step is Video KYC. A bank official will initiate a video call. During this call, you will be asked to hold your Aadhar and PAN cards, and the bank official will take a screenshot of this. The official will also ask you some basic questions to confirm your KYC details.
- Once the Video KYC process is done. The final step is to fund the newly opened account. This can be done via net banking or UPI & your account is opened instantly. You will get an email with your customer ID, IFSC code and account number. Physical collateral like a welcome letter, cheque books, debit card and other literature will be sent via post/courier.
