Salary accounts have more benefits when compared to savings account. The major benefit of having a salary account is a Zero minimum balance facility. Now every bank is charging some charges if the account holder doesn’t maintain a minimum balance in his account. So in order to avoid these minimum balance charges, you must convert your savings account into a salary account.
In order to covert a savings account to a salary account, we need to write a formal letter to the bank’s branch manager. Along with this letter you need to submit a copy of your identity card which belongs to the company in which you are working.
