Current Account Advantage

It is like the current account normal.

• But its cash deposit limit of Rs 3 Lakh per month makes it suitable for wholesalers as well.
• Even the applicable charges are the same.
• But everything comes at a price. So, the minimum monthly balance requirement is Rs 25k.
• What’s more, you have to pay Rs 750 for not maintaining the minimum balance against Rs 600 in Normal Current Account.

So, there is no ‘advantage’ in this current account, except in its name.

Current Account Select

Although most of the features are the same as above, it has one vital difference.

• Here, the cash deposit limit is ten times the minimum monthly balance maintained. For example, if you maintain a balance of Rs 1 Lakh, you can deposit cash up to Rs 10 Lakh. That is why traders prefer this account over the above ones.

• The minimum monthly balance requirement is Rs 50k. But look at the bright side as well. You will get a deposit limit of Rs 5 Lakhs per month, for sure. And it can extend up to Rs 50 lakhs per month.

Current Account Classic

This account is no different from the ones mentioned above.

• The minimum monthly balance requirement is Rs 1 Lakh.
• And the charges for non-maintenance are Rs 1500.
• The only difference is that it has a cash deposit limit of Rs 12 Lakhs. And the charges for depositing cash are Rs 3 per Rs 1000 deposited, subject to at least Rs 50 per transaction. Let’s understand with an example.

Suppose you deposit Rs 15 Lakhs in a month (assuming entirely in one transaction). There will be no charges up to Rs 12 lakhs. Above that, you would have to pay the applicable charges on the excess amount (3 Lakhs). It comes to Rs 900 [300000*(3/1000)].

Current Account Privilege

As its name suggests, there are some privileges with this current account. They make it suitable for large firms and small corporates. Here are the features that distinguish it from the other account:

• Monthly Cash Deposit Limit of Rs 60 Lakhs
• Free NEFT and RTGS transactions
• No monthly charges for operating the account
• The minimum monthly balance requirement is Rs 5 Lakhs.

Current Account Channel One

It is an extended version of the Current Account Privilege, as it has all the above features.

• But the monthly cash deposit limit is Rs 1.2 Cr. So, it is suitable for large distributors, manufacturers, and service providers.
• The charges are the same, except that the cash deposit charges are Rs 2 per 1000, subject to a minimum of Rs 50 per transaction.

Current Account Club 50

This account is yet distinguished from others until now. It is so because the difference in deposit limits and the minimum balance is not the sole differentiation factor.

• Besides them, you get the Business Platinum Debit Card. It is superior as compared to the Business Classic Debit Card. There are increased limits on transactions and insurance.
• You also get complimentary lounge access and Edge Reward Points.
• What’s more, the minimum balance requirement is quarterly in this case, against the monthly balance in other accounts.
• And the amount is Rs 50 Lakhs. With a cash deposit limit of Rs 2 Crore per month.
• That is why it is suitable for large corporates and MNCs.

Digi Current Account

If you have read till here, you will realize that all of them are traditional current accounts. But we are living in the digital era, aren’t we? So, it is only natural that our current accounts get digital too. And the case with Axis Bank is no exception.
