When it comes to
open the account in the banks, the best one is to go with the savings accounts. The reason for the
same is that one has the flexibility to open the same in any of the banks
whether it is private or nationalized or any sort of regional bank as well. The
account of this category gives you an option to earn a good return that could
vary in the range of 3% to 7% these days. At some point of time, this range
used to be the one for fixed deposit accounts and people used to get attract to
it in a good chunk. And now when the same range is being applied to this
category of account, it has made people to open the account in a good number.
Savings Accounts have lot
of benefits and discussing about the same in this article would comprise of how
this is different from the other accounts. Talking first about the way it
differs from fixed deposit account is that, you have all the flexibility of
withdrawing the money from this account at any point of time where as in fixed
deposit account; you cannot do the same until the maturity of the account. But
in some cases, you need to keep in a minimum of certain amount in the savings
account category and this differs from people to people. In case you are
holding a corporate account or salary account, there would not be any need to
hold a minimum balance but for the non-salaried people there always has to be a
certain balance present in the account so as to get relieved of the maintenance
charges.
Talking further
about the difference in the savings
accounts and other sort of accounts, though you may not get a good rate of
interest on this account varying in the range of 3% to 7%, but the flexibility
to convert the same into current account or fixed deposit account is always
there.
Summary: Savings accounts are considered far
more flexible than the other accounts providing an altogether a different
experience of banking.
