A Self-declaration on The Prescribed Format of The Bank
Kotak Mahindra Bank provides a wide range of current bank accounts to mitigate the unique banking needs of firms and businesses. A few of the important variants of the current account offered by Kotak are Astra 15 current account, Ace current account, Elite current account, ActivMoney current account, Startup premium current account, Global trade current account, etc. So, whether you are looking to cater to your existing banking requirements or aiming for future expansion, with Kotak's different types of current account, you can meet all your business needs with ease.
However, to maintain your account and to make the most out of the benefits offered, you must maintain a current account minimum balance. The account balance requirement may differ based on the account type, usage, and location. If you fail to maintain the minimum balance requirement, you might have to bear a penalty for non-maintenance.
What Happens If You Do Not Maintain Minimum Balance Requirement For a Prolonged Period?
Note that your current account will not be closed automatically until you submit a closure request. Non-maintenance of the minimum balance amount on your current account will continue levying non-maintenance charges. So, if you cannot maintain the current account minimum balance, ensure to close the account instead of keeping it active.
