Once upon a time, whether we wanted to give money to someone or withdraw money, we used to stand in banks for hours and make transactions. Later, we made transactions in a few minutes through ATMs and money transfer machines. Now, many UPI apps have come up that allow transactions to be made in seconds.

Minimum balance is not mandatory in bank accounts; Penalties imposed for not having a minimum balance have been abolished. Here is the list of banks offering this offer! Savings Account - In Digital India, there are few people who do not have this. But, the small problem with this is the 'minimum balance'. That is, the customer must keep a certain amount in their savings account. Banks use this as the minimum balance for matters including the maintenance of the account.

The home loan is what makes many people's dream of a home possible these days.  If we take a home loan thinking, 'That's all we can get', we will get into trouble. So, let's look at eight things to consider when taking a home loan. 1. Before taking a home loan, have a 20 percent down payment in hand. For example, if you are buying a house for Rs. 50 lakhs, prepare 20 percent of it, Rs. 10 lakhs, yourself. It is not good to take a loan for this down payment. 2. When taking a home loan, it is important to compare the interest rates of two-three banks . Even a 0.5% - 1% interest difference between banks can increase the loan amount by lakhs. So, it is better to pay attention to these small differences. 3. The EMI you pay monthly should be 30 - 40 percent of your monthly salary . Only then, no problem will arise. 4. When taking a home loan, pay off as much of your other debts as possible. At least get a large loan. 5. It is better to take out a home loan before the ag...
