Saving Account Limit: Opening a bank account is necessary in today’s time. It makes digital transactions easier and the bank passbook is an important document. Salaried people, farmers and common people open savings accounts, which are for their savings.

The Reserve Bank of India and the Income Tax Department have set a limit for depositing money in a savings account and keeping money in the account. If the amount is more than the prescribed limit, the Income Tax Department questions the concerned person.
Digital transactions increased with mobile apps-
When the era of online transactions started in the country, people started using less cash. They started transacting from their savings account for digital transactions. Nowadays almost every bank has launched its mobile app. People are doing transactions using Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, UPI, Debit Card, Rupay Card etc. This has made their life easier.

According to the rules of the Income Tax Department, no citizen of India can keep a balance of more than Rs 10 lakh in his savings bank account in a financial year.
In India, if a person’s bank account is found to have an amount more than the limit set by the Income Tax Department, then the Income Tax Department can inquire the concerned person through e-mail or special platform. After this, the account holder will have to provide detailed information to the Income Tax Department about the source of the remaining amount.
