Having a savings account is the first step an individual can take to become financially independent. A large percentage of the Indian domestic force is not part of the banking system either because they find it intimidating or confusing or lack the proper documents. Becoming a formal part of the economy is the right step towards prosperity and financial inclusion. To this end, as responsible members of the economy, encouraging your house help, driver or other domestic assistant open a savings account can make a world of difference. And it can all begin with a simple discussion.
1. Enlighten the Need for Savings:
It is possible that your domestic help doesn’t diligently save money or simply hands over their earnings to the head of the family. Savings for a family and an individual are essential. You can explain to them how their money is secure in a bank and how it is available to withdraw at will. Savings can be used for more considerable expenses in the future, planned or unplanned, and will insulate them from financial shocks due to health or other emergencies. Moreover, money kept in a savings account will earn interest, thus increasing their income.
2. Explain How a Savings Accounts Work:
If they are sceptical of or intimidated by banks, you could explain how a savings account works. Understanding the simplicity and advantages of a savings account will make them more comfortable opening one. A savings account is a simple deposit account wherein you keep your money and are free to withdraw it at will, subject to certain restrictions. You earn interest on your monthly balance and are given facilities like a debit card, chequebook, and internet banking.
3. Guide Them Through the Process:
There is a genuine possibility that your domestic help will feel uncomfortable undergoing the process of opening a savings account. With IDFC FIRST Bank, they can open a savings account without having to visit a branch. With a fully digital application process, you can help them open a bank account right from your home.
