What is the savings account transaction limit per month?

Savings Accounts are among the most essential financial tools. These accounts help you safely store your money while giving you easy access to funds for daily transactions like bill payments, shopping, and investments. With the increasing shift towards digital banking and cash usage declining, it is more important than ever to be aware of the transaction limits that apply to your savings account. 

Cash deposit limit in a savings account
 

Rules surrounding savings accounts help maintain financial transparency and ensure compliance with income tax regulations.

Making a cash deposit is easy: Just visit your bank’s branch, fill out the deposit slip, and hand over your cash. However, savings account limits apply. As per RBI guidelines, if you're depositing more than ₹50,000 in cash, you must present your PAN card or Form 60 at the time of deposit.

The cash deposit limit for IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Accounts is ₹10 lakh per month. If your total cash deposits exceed ₹10 lakh in a financial year, the bank is required to report it to the income tax department under the Statement of Financial Transactions (SFT).

Additionally, many banks limit the number of free cash deposits and withdrawals each month. Post this limit, charges may apply. At IDFC FIRST Bank, you enjoy unlimited free cash deposits and withdrawals across branches, which ensures greater flexibility with zero stress.
