Open Corporate Bank Account

A corporate bank account (current account) is the financial foundation of every business. Unlike savings accounts — which have transaction limits and are not designed for business use — current accounts offer unlimited transactions, overdraft facilities, and business-specific banking features essential for daily operations.

Service Overview

Your Business Needs a Dedicated Bank Account — Start Here

Every business entity — Private Limited Company, LLP, Partnership, or Sole Proprietorship — must have a separate business bank account. Mixing personal and business finances creates accounting nightmares, GST compliance issues, and income tax complications. Opening a current account requires the right documents for the specific entity type. Banks have become stricter with KYC for companies and LLPs — submission of properly certified company documents is essential to avoid rejection or repeated visits. Our team prepares all the required documents and coordinates with your chosen bank for a smooth, one-visit account opening.

Critical: A company or LLP must have an active current account — using personal savings accounts for business transactions is a GST and income tax compliance violation. Banks flag such accounts under PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) guidelines, which can result in account freezing and FEMA scrutiny. Keep business and personal finances strictly separated from Day 1.

Company Current Account

Private Ltd, Public Ltd

Current accounts for Private Limited and Public Limited Companies require Board Resolution, Certificate of Incorporation, MOA/AOA, and KYC of all directors. We prepare all board-certified documents.

LLP Current Account

For Limited Liability Partnerships

LLP current accounts require the LLP Agreement, Certificate of Incorporation, and KYC of all designated partners. We prepare the Partner Authorization Letter and coordinate with the bank.

Partnership & Proprietorship Account

Simplified requirements

Partnership firm accounts need the Partnership Deed and Firm Registration. Proprietorship accounts use the proprietor's personal KYC along with GST registration or MSME certificate as business proof.

Bank Selection Advisory

Public, private, or neo-bank

We advise on the most suitable bank for your business — comparing minimum balance requirements, transaction charges, overdraft eligibility, digital banking features, and branch access — before account opening.

Eligibility Criteria

Who Needs a Corporate Bank Account?

Every business entity must maintain a separate bank account — it is both a legal requirement and a business necessity.

Private Limited Companies

A Private Limited Company must have a current account — company transactions (share capital receipts, vendor payments, salary disbursements) cannot legally go through directors' personal accounts.

LLPs and Partnership Firms

LLPs and partnership firms need accounts in the entity's name. Capital contributions, profit withdrawals, and business payments must flow through the entity's account for proper accounting and taxation.

Sole Proprietorships

Proprietorships are an extension of the individual, so personal accounts are technically acceptable — but a dedicated business account is strongly recommended for clean GST compliance and professional appearance.

NGOs, Trusts & Societies

Charitable entities receiving donations and grants need institutional bank accounts in the entity's name — required for 80G receipt issuance and FCRA compliance.

Key Benefits

Why a Dedicated Business Account Matters

A business bank account is more than a legal requirement — it is the cornerstone of clean financial management.

Clean Financial Separation

Business income and expenses are completely separated from personal finances — making accounting, GST filing, and income tax return preparation significantly simpler and error-free.

GST Compliance

GST refunds, ITC credits, and payment challans must be transacted through a registered business bank account. GSTIN registration requires a business account — not personal savings.

Loan & Overdraft Eligibility

Banks assess credit facilities based on current account transactions. 6–12 months of business account activity is required to apply for business overdraft, CC limits, or term loans. Starting early builds your credit history.

Professional Credibility

Receiving payments in a business account (rather than personal) signals professionalism to clients and vendors. Large clients are often uncomfortable paying to individual accounts — business accounts are required for institutional sales.

Cheque & Payment Infrastructure

Current accounts provide unlimited transactions, company-name cheque books, business debit/credit cards, and business internet banking — features absent in savings accounts.

Audit & Compliance

Statutory auditors, GST assessments, and income tax scrutiny all rely on bank statements as primary evidence. A clean, dedicated business account makes audit and investigation response straightforward.

Get Expert Help

Step 1 of 6

Select the Right Bank

Compare public sector banks (SBI, Bank of Baroda — lower charges, branch access) vs. private banks (HDFC, ICICI, Kotak — better digital banking, faster service) vs. neo-banks (Razorpay, Open — API-first, startup-friendly). Choose based on your transaction volume and needs.

Step 2 of 6

Prepare Entity Documents

For companies: prepare Board Resolution (for account opening authorization), certified copies of Certificate of Incorporation, MOA, AOA, and KYC of all directors. For LLPs: LLP Agreement and Partner Authorization Letter.

Step 3 of 6

Complete KYC of Authorized Signatories

Arrange PAN, Aadhaar, photograph, and address proof for all directors/partners who will operate the account. Bank officials verify identity — originals must be available.

Step 4 of 6

Submit Application at Branch

Visit the chosen bank branch with complete documents. Most banks have a dedicated relationship manager for business accounts — we coordinate an appointment to ensure a senior representative handles your account.

Step 5 of 6

Video KYC Verification (for digital onboarding)

Several banks now offer completely digital current account opening with video KYC — no branch visit needed. We guide you through the digital onboarding process if you opt for this route.

Step 6 of 6 Final Step

Account Activated — Configure Banking

Once activated, configure net banking, mobile banking, NEFT/RTGS limits, and authorize GST payment facility. Link the account to the GST and income tax portals for seamless tax payments.

Document Checklist

Documents for Corporate Bank Account Opening

Requirements differ by entity type — ensure certified copies are prepared before visiting the bank.

Entity Documents (Company / LLP)

Certificate of Incorporation

Original or certified copy of Certificate of Incorporation from MCA — the primary entity registration document.

MOA & AOA / LLP Agreement

For companies: Memorandum and Articles of Association. For LLPs: LLP Agreement with Partners' details and contribution amounts.

Board Resolution / Partner Authorization

Board Resolution (for companies) or Partner Authorization Letter (for LLPs) — authorizing specific individuals to operate the bank account and specifying signing authority.

For newly incorporated companies, share capital must be deposited into the current account within the time frame mandated by the Companies Act. The bank account must be opened before the Director can receive the Certificate of Commencement of Business (INC-20A). Plan the account opening immediately after incorporation.

Post Registration

After Opening the Bank Account

A new business account needs to be linked to all compliance systems and built up systematically.

Within 60 days of incorporation

Deposit Share Capital (for Companies)

Transfer the subscribed share capital from each director/subscriber's personal account to the new company current account — within 60 days of incorporation. File INC-20A on MCA after this.

Immediately

Link to GST & IT Portal

Add the bank account details on the GST portal (My Profile → Bank Account Details) and on the Income Tax portal — for tax payment authorization and refund receipt.

From Day 1

Build Account Transaction History

Route all business receipts and payments through the current account — even if small. 6–12 months of consistent account activity builds the credit history needed for overdraft and loan eligibility.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. A Private Limited Company is a separate legal entity and must have its own bank account. MCA mandates filing Form INC-20A (Commencement of Business Certificate) which requires evidence of share capital deposit in the company's bank account within 60 days of incorporation.

For startups: private banks like HDFC, ICICI, and Kotak offer superior digital banking, API integrations, and startup programs. Neo-banks like Razorpay Current Account or Open offer zero minimum balance and startup-friendly pricing. For established businesses with branch-banking needs, SBI or Bank of Baroda offer the widest branch network.

Minimum balance varies widely — from ₹0 (some neo-banks and startup current accounts) to ₹1–5 lakhs (premium current accounts at major private banks). Non-maintenance penalties can be significant — factor this into your bank selection.

Digital account opening: 1–3 business days. Physical branch opening: 3–7 business days after complete document submission. The timeline depends entirely on the completeness of documents — incomplete submissions cause repeated visits and delays.

Yes. The Board Resolution must specifically authorize one or more directors (or authorized officers) to operate the bank account — specifying the signing authority (sole signatory vs. joint signatory for amounts above a threshold). Proper Board Resolution preparation is critical for smooth account opening.
