The procedure of opening a saving bank account in a bank are as follows:

(i) Filling up the Form The application form has to be filled up giving the following necessary information: 

(a) Name of the person (applicant). 

(b) His/her occupation. 

(c) Residential Address. 

(d) Specimen signature of the applicant. 

(e) Name, address, account number and signature of the person introducing the applicant. Besides the above information you have to give an undertaking that you will abide by the rules and regulations of the bank, which are in force. At the end of the application form, you have to put your signature.

(ii) Proper Introduction Every bank requires that a person known to the bank should introduce the applicant. It may be convenient to be introduced by a person having already an account in that bank. Some banks may accept the attested copy of Passport or Driving Licence, if any, of the applicant. In that case personal introduction is not necessary. Introduction is required to prevent the possibility of opening of account by an undesirable person. 

(iii) Specimen Signature The applicant has to put his/her specimen signatures at the blank space provided on the application form for that purpose. In addition, specimen signatures have to be put separately on a card on which a photograph of the applicant has to be pasted, along with his/her name and account number.
