A savings account offers a safe place to keep your money. Additionally, there are other benefits of a savings account that can be used for financial management.
We give you a few reasons why you should keep your funds in a savings account:
Helps you save more
The value of money may decrease with inflation. Savings accounts offer best bank interest rates. This can add to your savings and counter this devaluation.
Entitles you to a tax benefit
Another advantage of a savings account is the tax benefit it offers. You can claim a tax deduction on the interest earned from the account under Section 80TTA of the Income Tax Act.

Facilitates tracking of expenses
One of the best things about a savings account is that you can keep tabs on your money. Every transaction that you make using the savings account can be tracked. You can view periodic statements or check the latest transactions online. In this manner, you can keep track of your spending with the help of a mobile banking app.
Helps meet your liquidity needs
You can withdraw money from your account at any time. The money in your account can be used for short-term goals, emergencies, paying online bills, and everyday expenses.
Helps secure your money
