New Deposit Scheme titled "UCO No-frills
Savings Bank Account"
In order to include a larger cross-section of the population, who are at the bottom of
the pyramid, to avail of the banking services who could not avail of the same on account
of some restrictive clauses, namely, minimum initial deposit for opening of the account
which is difficult to arrange by such population, maintenance of minimum balance failing
which charges are levied etc., it has been felt expedient to introduce a new Savings
Deposit Scheme titled "UCO No-frills Savings Bank Account". The salient features
of the scheme so designed are as follows :
- Title of the Scheme - "UCO No-frills Savings Bank Account".
- Initial deposit for opening the account and maintenance of minimum balance
- The account can be opened with a minimum initial deposit of Rs.5/-. In case of cheque
facility being availed by the account holder, the minimum initial balance should be
Rs.250/-. In case of need, the balance in the account may be allowed to go even below the
minimum initial deposit and the account may continue even with "Zero"
balance.
Opening of Account under the scheme - The scheme is introduced in all
metro, urban, semi-urban and rural categories of branches without making any
differentiation with regard to amounts of initial deposit and maintenance of minimum
balance as prevailing at present for opening of Savings Bank Accounts.
- Eligibility for opening "No-frills Savings Bank Account" -
The eligibility for opening "No-frills" Account will be the same as that for
opening an ordinary Savings Bank Account. Persons above the age 10 and below 18 years and
are able to read and write may also open a minor no-frills savings account in his own name
or jointly with any other person.
- Restriction of number of withdrawals/debit entries in "No-frills"
Account - upto 25 debit entries in a half-year are allowed free in those
accounts. In case the debit entries exceed 25 during a half-year, charges will be levied @
Rs.3/- per additional entry during a half-year.
- Charges to be levied -
- For accounts opened with initial deposits of Rs.250/- for having Cheque Book facility,
in case the balance comes down below the initial deposit even upto zero balance, usual
charge for non-maintenance of initial deposit shall be levied.
- For standing instructions - no charge will be levied.
- Collection of cheques and issuance of Demand Drafts/MTs are permitted in those accounts
and normal charges are to be levied for those services.
- For accounts with cheque book facility, one cheque book of 20 leaves to be provided free
of charge in each year. Any additional requirement of cheque leaves during a year will
attract a charge of Rs.2/- per cheque leaf.
- No incidental and folio charges will be levied in these accounts.
- All other charges for services as presently applicable for normal Savings Bank Account
are to be levied and recovered.
- Compliance of KYC Guidelines - Simplified KYC procedures for opening of
Accounts as advised through Bank's Circular No. CHO/SUA/39/2005-06 dated 29.08.2005 may be
adhered to. The salient features of the Circular are mentioned hereunder for ready
reference :
In case, the person concerned who wants to open the account is not able to
produce any of the specified documents, required to be verified at the time of opening of
account to establish the identity and address of the customer, the account may be opened
for those persons subject to compliance of the following :
- Introduction from another account holder who has been subjected to full KYC procedure.
The introducer's account with the bank should be at least six month old and should show
satisfactory transactions. Photographs of the customer who proposes to open the account
and also his address need to be certified by the introducer.
or
- Furnishing any other evidence as to the identity and address of the customer to the
satisfaction of the bank.
However, while opening such accounts the customer should be
made aware that if at any point of time, the balance in all his/her accounts with the bank
(taken together) exceeds Rs.50,000/- or total credits in the accounts exceed Rs.1.00 lakh
in a year, no further transaction will be permitted in the account until full KYC
procedure in regard to verification of identity and address of the customer through the
documents as specified are complied with.

the scheme provides you an option to meet both your short term and long term requirements.

KUBER YOJANA
