21 August 2011 There is no problem but bankers r prefer to maintain single account to a customer for same type of account for minimising their work and confusion.However maintain singly account for same type account is also better to the customer because reduces risk,confusion,minimises maintaining of minimum balance. However in case of any enquiry we has to responseble to answer the question why we have maintaining multiple accounts of same type at the same bank & branch if any default found we r liable for punishment. so anyway better to close two accounts and maintaininf single account.
