Even today there are many people who believe that if they want to open a savings bank account in any bank, then they will need a guarantor for that. Whereas this is not the case and today the banking has completely changed. Now if you want to open an account in the bank, then under the rules of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Aadhaar and PAN are necessary to open an account in the bank. Some time ago the master circular regarding e-KYC was updated by RBI. According to this new circular, it will be mandatory to give Aadhaar and PAN number for a new bank account.
what is the matter
A user from SBI has asked a question on the Twitter handle whether a guarantor is needed to open an account in SBI branch or only Aadhaar will work. On this the bank has said that the form has to be filled to open a bank account. Also, KYC is mandatory. For more information about this, the bank has also shared some links.
