29 March 2016 Sir one more question in this regard...some CA has advised that if you have proper evidence to explain the sourses of funding to income tax then you can operate the SB in business, not problem from income tax also not from bank/RBI side,

30 March 2016 Many People in india don't have their Driving License but they are driving vehicles but when they caught they are penalized and then they realized what is right and what is wrong..!!! we have to wait for that system to follow rules strictly. Thats why we have to follow every rules voluntarily. My friend try to understand don't break any rules in future rules hurts you badly. so in savings only Rs.1000/- minimum balance have to maintain and in Current (Personal) Rs. 3000/- to Rs. 5000/-. so there is no big difference. so tell your friend to open a current account and do all business transaction and just be safe from his side.
