Category membership alone does not make products interchangeable. Recheck the bank's current controlling agreement, tariff or effective-rate table before acting.
Confirm whether the journey is web, mobile-app-only or merely an online lead form. A branch fallback is not the same as end-to-end digital opening.
Aadhaar OTP/minimum-KYC can create a restricted account while Video KYC/V-CIP can create a full account. Compare validity, balance and transaction caps before calling either one “instant”.
A zero-AMB account can still request ₹10,000/₹20,000 or another opening deposit. Keep initial funding, debit-card cost and ongoing balance as three separate fields.
Some instant journeys are only for customers without an existing or previous relationship. A digital product can therefore be unavailable even when the applicant otherwise meets KYC rules.
Video KYC commonly needs Aadhaar-linked OTP, camera/microphone, live location and physical presence in India. Those are eligibility controls, not user-interface trivia.
If Aadhaar, video quality or live verification fails, check whether the bank offers a limited-KYC state, retry, non-Aadhaar OVD route or branch completion—and what remains restricted until then.
Compare the verified channel and restrictions before choosing on headline balance alone.
| Account | Channel / KYC | Funding / restriction |
|---|---|---|
| AU Small Finance Bank Digital Savings Account | AU Video Banking / AU 0101 digital savings-account journey. Applicant can complete full Video KYC over a live video call; AU 0101 also documents a Minimum-KYC choice before full KYC. | No minimum balance for the reviewed AU Digital Savings Account; account/card charges follow the applicable AU fee reckoner. Indian citizen age 18+ with required KYC documents; Video KYC availability can be limited to select locations. |
| Axis Bank Burgundy Digital Savings Account | Axis Digital Savings online journey selecting the Burgundy account variant where eligible. PAN/Aadhaar verification, Video KYC and account funding under the common Axis Digital Savings journey. | Digital funding is required, but Burgundy relationship-value/eligibility rules remain separate and control the ongoing product economics. Indian citizen age 18+ under Axis Digital Savings eligibility; Burgundy qualification remains an additional relationship condition. |
| Axis Bank Liberty Savings Account | Axis Liberty Digital Savings web onboarding. PAN/Aadhaar identity verification followed by Video KYC, then initial funding. | ₹25,000 initial funding on the reviewed Liberty Digital page. Ongoing qualification is separate: ₹25,000 AMB, ₹25,000 qualifying monthly spend or the current qualifying FD route. Digital journey is for eligible Indian-citizen applicants; the reviewed page requires the account-opening identity conditions rather than treating every Liberty/HUF route as digitally identical. |
| Bank of Baroda bob Advantage Savings Account | Bank of Baroda online Video-KYC/V-CIP; the product page also lists RLBO and TAB opening modes. Full-KYC account opening through Aadhaar/PAN validation and live Video KYC. | No separate V-KYC opening-funding amount is stated on the reviewed pages; ongoing balance targets are ₹2,000/₹1,000/₹500 by branch category.

V-KYC route: tax-resident Indian age 18+, new-to-bank only, non-PEP, single/self operation and able to complete the digital process. |
| Federal Bank FedSelfie Zero Balance Savings Account | FedMobile/FedSelfie digital onboarding; Federal247 is the bank’s broader Video-KYC account-opening platform. Aadhaar/PAN digital opening with KYC completion; Federal’s current deposit policy separately documents V-CIP/Video-KYC activation for digital accounts. | No average monthly balance requirement for FedSelfie; optional services such as cheque-book access can have their own balance conditions. Reviewed FedSelfie terms restrict the online scheme for existing Federal Bank customers and set resident-individual age conditions. |
| Federal Bank Stellar Savings Account | Federal Stellar online application using Video KYC; branch application remains available. The current Stellar FAQ says Video KYC is the fastest online route; Federal247 documents end-to-end Video-KYC account opening. | No separate initial-funding figure is stated on the reviewed Stellar page; the ongoing ₹20,000/₹10,000 AMB requirement remains controlling. Retail individuals age 18+; no new-to-bank-only restriction is inferred from the reviewed Stellar page. |
| HDFC Bank Regular Savings Account | HDFC InstaAccount web/digital journey for eligible Savings Regular opening; MobileBanking/branch alternatives also exist. Aadhaar OTP followed by Video KYC for the instant route; live signature, photo and location are verified on video. | ₹10,000 urban, ₹5,000 semi-urban or ₹2,500 rural for Savings Regular under the current InstaAccount page; this matches the ongoing balance structure rather than being a zero-balance promise. Resident Indian age 18+ without an existing HDFC Bank Savings or Salary Account for InstaAccount. |
| ICICI Bank Savings Account (new accounts from Aug 2025) | ICICI Bank website application: enter PAN-linked identity details, pincode and mobile number, verify OTP and submit; the current page says a bank representative then contacts the applicant to assist with opening and verification. The reviewed current mainstream Savings Account page documents assisted verification after online submission; it does not promise that every applicant completes a self-serve Video-KYC flow on that route. | No separate opening-funding amount is stated in the reviewed current online-application FAQ; ongoing MAB for new accounts remains ₹15,000 metro/urban, ₹7,500 semi-urban and ₹2,500 rural unless an exemption applies. Current mainstream Savings Account opening for eligible applicants; special account categories and programme exemptions have their own rules. |
| IDFC FIRST Bank Quantum+ Savings Account | IDFC FIRST Mobile Banking App only; the account cannot be opened on the website or completed at a branch. Enter details in-app and complete Video KYC; original PAN is required for the video step. | An initial funding request may appear; the bank explicitly says it is not a minimum-balance requirement or fee and remains available after opening.

| IndusInd Bank Indus Delite Zero Balance Savings Account | IndusInd online account-opening journey. PAN/Aadhaar verification, application details, initial funding and mandatory Video KYC for activation. | ₹10,000 required at opening even though the ongoing minimum-balance requirement is zero; debit-card fee is separately stated.

PAN/Aadhaar verification, application details, funding and Video KYC. | ₹20,000 initial funding despite zero ongoing minimum-balance requirement; card fees are separate.

Video KYC is stated to be for new Kotak customers. Existing 811 customers use the separate full-KYC appointment/video-upgrade route. |
| SBI Insta Plus Savings Bank Account | YONO SBI app: New to SBI → Open Savings Account → Without Branch Visit → Savings Account through Video KYC. Aadhaar OTP followed by a scheduled live Video KYC; signature is captured during the video process and debit activation follows bank verification. | No separate initial-funding amount is stated on the reviewed Insta Plus page; do not infer zero opening funding from the absence of an AMB figure. New-to-bank only: no existing SBI CIF or active relationship; resident Indian age 18+; single operation. |
| YES BANK PRO Plus Savings Account | YES BANK website or IRIS mobile app digital savings journey. Personal details → Aadhaar authentication → Video KYC under the current Digital Savings journey. | The current public digital page says initial payment depends on the selected product variant; the reviewed page does not establish one universal PRO Plus opening-funding number. Resident-adult savings eligibility and the selected digital variant's current onboarding rules apply; specialized accounts can require different documentation or branch verification. |
| YES BANK PRO Savings Account | YES BANK website or IRIS mobile app. Start with personal details, authenticate Aadhaar and complete Video KYC. | The bank says any initial payment depends on the product variant; no universal PRO opening-funding figure is asserted from the reviewed page.
