Running a business is hard enough—your bank account shouldn’t add friction. The Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) Current Account is built to keep day-to-day operations smooth: receive and pay vendors, issue cheques, track transactions cleanly, and keep documentation in order. No buzzwords—just the essentials a business actually needs.

- Individuals: For proprietors or professionals who want a dedicated account for business receipts and payments.
- Joint holders (up to four members): Useful for small partnerships and joint ventures needing shared access.

Ask the branch which specific variant matches your entity type and usage.
Documents you’ll need (Checklist)
Bring originals for verification and clear photocopies for submission. Depending on your organization type, the bank may ask for one or more of the following:
- Account Opening Application (UBGB prescribed format)
- Photo identification proof of the authorized signatory(ies)
- PAN Card of the entity/individual as applicable (or Form 60/61 if PAN is not available)
- Proof of residence/address (as per KYC norms)
- Photographs of authorized signatory(ies)
- Memorandum & Articles of Association (for companies)
- Proof of commencement of business (incorporation/registration certificate, etc.)
- Partnership Deed (for firms)
- Board Resolution / Authorization (for companies and registered institutions)
- Shop & Establishment Certificate (for eligible business entities)
Not every entity needs every document. The branch will guide you to the exact list for your structure.
Minimum opening deposit
- Rural areas: ₹3,000
- Semi-urban areas: ₹3,000
Treat this as the minimum deposit to open the account. For ongoing balance requirements and any related charges, check the latest schedule at your branch.
Withdrawals and day-to-day usage
- Withdrawal limit: No specific withdrawal limit has been prescribed in the shared details. You can operate the account as your cash flow needs demand, subject to standard banking norms and any applicable cash-handling or transaction guidelines.
- Interest: Not applicable on current accounts. These are designed for high-frequency transactions, not for earning interest.
- TDS: Not applicable on this account type since interest is not paid.
Nomination and loan—know the rules
- Nomination facility: Available for individual and joint accounts. This is a simple but important step—set it up when you open the account.
- Loan facility: Not available on the current account itself. If you need working capital or term finance, speak to the branch about separate credit products that can be sanctioned independently of the current account.
Tools that make operations easier
- RuPay Debit Card: Available for individual current accounts. This helps proprietors and professionals make purchases and ATM withdrawals conveniently. For non-individual entities, ask the branch about card issuance as per policy.
- CTS Chequebook facility: Issue CTS-compliant cheques to vendors, landlords, service providers, or for reimbursements.
- E-statement and Passbook: Keep a clean record for audits, GST filings, reimbursements, and year-end accounts. E-statements are handy for quick sharing with your accountant; passbooks add a physical trail many businesses still prefer.
How to open your UBGB Current Account
- Choose your entity type and confirm the authorized signatory format (individual, joint, Karta, partners, trustees, directors).
- Collect documents using the checklist above. Keep original IDs and proofs for in-person verification.
- Fill the UBGB application form and add your KYC details.
- Provide board/partner/authorizer resolutions wherever required.
- Deposit the minimum opening amount (₹3,000 in rural or semi-urban areas, as applicable).

- Add a nominee (for individual/joint structures).
- Collect your welcome kit and confirm when cheques/debit card will be ready.
Why businesses choose a UBGB Current Account

Smart operating tips
