Canara Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account

Canara Bank's full-KYC BSBDA with no minimum balance, a free ATM/ATM-cum-Debit Card, internet/mobile banking and a current four-free-withdrawal framework that excludes non-ATM digital payments from the count.

First-party evidencePublished researchReviewed September 9, 2026Active
Open primary bank source ↗Bank dossierCompare alternatives
Balance / relationshipNo minimum-balance requirement.
Cost / chargesNo minimum balance. Canara states the ATM Card or ATM-cum-Debit Card carries no annual fee at issuance or renewal; at least 25 cheque leaves per year and core account facilities are also provided free under the reviewed page.
Limits / allowancesMinimum four free withdrawals per month including transfers and ATM transactions. Canara explicitly says non-ATM digital payments such as POS, NEFT, RTGS, UPI and IMPS are not counted as withdrawals for this purpose.
Ongoing relationship ruleCanara confirms a free ATM/ATM-cum-Debit Card but does not name one exact card variant on the BSBDA page, so the engine does not manufacture a card relationship edge.

Critical decision facts

Start with the ongoing account relationship, then price the access layer.

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

Customers who want a current public-sector BSBDA with clearly documented free core services and explicit treatment of digital payments versus counted withdrawals.

Verify before relying
  • Withdrawals beyond the four-free framework can attract service charges under current Canara rules.
  • Digital-payment transactions and ATM transactions are treated differently for the BSBDA withdrawal count.
  • The bank states a BSBDA customer should not have another operative account with the branch/bank under the reviewed product rules.
