Digital Savings Account: Know Details
Customers can easily open a Digital Savings Account using the IPPB Mobile App, which is available for download on both the Play Store for Android devices and the App Store for iPhones. This convenient method allows for instant account opening from the comfort of one’s home, enabling banking anytime and anywhere. Individuals aged 18 years and above, who have both an Aadhaar and PAN card, are eligible to open an account. The account includes a QR card that facilitates seamless financial transactions, simplifying payments and withdrawals for customers.
Important Considerations for Opening a New Digital Savings Account:

The account holder must be at least 18 years old. Failure to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process within 12 months of opening the account may result in its closure.
It is recommended to finalise the KYC formalities within the designated timeframe. Once the KYC process is successfully concluded within 12 months, the Digital Savings Account can be associated with a Post Office Savings Account (POSA).
The maximum cumulative yearly deposit allowed in the account is Rs 1,20,000. KYC formalities can be fulfilled by visiting any of the access points or with the assistance of the Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS)/Postman.
Upon completion, the newly created Digital Savings Account will be elevated to the status of a Regular Savings Account. There will be a monthly transaction value cap imposed.
