Quick Summary
This discussion explores the nuances between savings and current accounts for business use. While there's no strict mandate requiring a current account based solely on turnover, it's generally more suitable for frequent business transactions, especially those exceeding cheque or electronic limits. Savings accounts offer interest but have withdrawal limitations and typically don't support overdraft facilities, which are usually associated with separate overdraft accounts rather than standard current accounts.
There is no mandate of opening a current account being a certain turnover or deposit. There is no harm continuing business in saving account from a non compliance or tax point of view.
I think banks are reluctant to entertain savings account for business transactions as they have to pay interest on it. But if transactions are nominal, they might not consider to flag it.
