    Hi want to open 2-3 bank accounts, but the bank people are asking for introduction of account holder which must be more than 6 months of operative account.

    I dont have any introduction of anyone

    How can I open a savings account without introduction ??

    Try Private banker they are not asking any introducer.

    you can also try to govt bank they could arrange the introducer if you show legit proof.

    If you have all other documents in place, I guess your banker would readily oblige by taking care of the introduction part. Just express your inability to arrange for it and they will do the needful! :)

    If you are an Indian, you can open account in any bank if you have

    1. id proof with a photo
    2. Address proof.

    It id very easy.

    If you are not an Inidian and from our neighboring countries, please stop we Indians have enough problems already
    with RBI stopping paypal because they may suspect neighboring countries using Indian bank accounts to withdraw money
    so stop.

    Where do you live. Introduction of the a/c holders is an important to open an account. Private bank can open account with any introduction but if you are not an Indian then you can't open an account. You can open NRO account, Non-Resident Operating Account. This service is for NRI to send the funds to their family members based in India.

    Again you would required the relevant documents, required to open an account.

    I have an account with Union Bank of India but i haven't give them any introduction at the time of opening savings account with them. Check it out properly in a branch near to you.

    DON.
