ReplyDeleteThanks friend.
DeleteIt is great to hear that. Keep reading.

ReplyDeleteThen there is no luck.
DeleteOnly if Embassy provide you the Letter but they do not accept Photocopy or Scan Copy.
Very useful information!
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy.
DeleteI have all document of Nepal but not open my bank account in any indian bank in india.......please give the suggestion .
ReplyDeleteHello Sanjay,
DeleteWhere do you live in India. If you are near Delhi, go to Nepal Embassy as on above map. Submit your Original Citizenship card and get letter. Then go to Bank and meet Bank Manager, show the letter.
Refer to RBI KYC Guidelines at http://rbi.org.in/scripts/FAQView.aspx?Id=82 and rear Point No. (vi) in first section.
I may help you more if you completed above steps and still unable to open an account. Reply with Bank Detail where you visited.
Hi JOHN BHATT,
ReplyDeleteI do have my valid passport from Nepal. I visited several bank here in New Delhi, but none of them are accepting my passport. They say that they will need an Indian ID document.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Arbind
Hello Arbind!
DeletePlease name any of Bank name you visited or Just write me the name of bank where you want to open an account. I will give you the Contact Details of the Manager and Nodal officers in case they deny to open.
Thanks for visit.

i tried to at the branches of bank of india and sbi and syndicate bank with my passport and notarized rent agreement.(not court registered). but they straightly denied.and further told that there was no way to open my account in their branch until and unless i have any indian documents like voter id , indian license, which is impossible as i am a neplese citizen.
ReplyDeleteand the irony is that prior to me some of my nepalese friends had opened their savings accounts,in the same branch, but my bad i couldn't .
i have a bank account with sbi bank but in gurgaon branch and now i have changed my address so i am unable to make any modifications in that account and to transfer the account i need to provide kyc documents to other branch which they dont accept,
our embassy doesnt help in this matter,
i tried to make a registered rent agreement but that is tough and costly and the landlord doesnt readily agree,.
so it is all messed up. i am surprised that despite having valud documents in this 21st century opening a bank account is tough in india.
maybe the private banks will but the qab is very high minimum 10000 and i cant afford that much as i am a student.
so if u have any effective idea or suggestion or if u could help please suggest.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading. If you have PAN Card and Aadhar Card issued by Indian Authority, you do not need to attest your Citizenship certificate from Embassy, but If you only have PAN card, it is not considered as ID card for bank purpose. Using agents you can get PAN card but not Aadhar card, but as this is illegal, you are not advised to follow Agents. If you have passport issued by Nepal Govt, you can get Bank account on behalf of that by submitting additional a valid Address proof certificate. To get aadhar no you have to submit proof of Identity and residence in that area. Revert if required.
ReplyDeleteHi Amar, Sorry for delayed reply. I think it is legal because as per INDO-NEPAL aggrement, we can live and start own business on each others country.
