SBI Kiosk Account is a liberalized KYC account with limitations that provides banking services to people who do not have a lot of documents to create a bank account.
The kiosk banking model was developed by RBI to promote financial inclusion amongst the citizen, especially in the rural areas.
Anyone can open a bank account in the Kiosk branch of the bank using their Aadhaar card but the account will be limited like withdrawal limit of Rs.10,000/- per day, no cheque book facility, etc.
This limitation can be removed if the account holder transfers his/her SBI Kiosk Account to SBI Main branch account.
