1. Savings accounts are for personal savings and drawings/investment, any business transactions are not allowed through it.

2. First holder is treated as the owner of the account and any transactions carried in the account will be treated as his/her own transaction. In your case, all the transactions of the account will be reflected in her PAN, so she will be responsible for it and not yourself.
