All Banks Account Number Digits in India

India is a country with a banking system serving a vast population. In general, Indian Banks are classified into two groups, namely scheduled bank and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled group includes a commercial bank, small finance bank, payment bank, co-operative bank.

Whereas non-scheduled bank is those bank which has less than 5 lakh Indian rupees as reserve capital. Non-scheduled banks are not eligible to borrow from the Reserve bank of India (RBI) for normal banking purposes unless it’s an emergency.

Every customer of a bank is assigned a unique account number, and that account number will be used in every banking operation related to that person. An account number is a special series of digits and, often, letters and other characters that describe the account owner and give access to that account. You can find your account number at the bottom of your paper check.

An account number may vary from 9 digits to 18 digits, and it depends on the bank how many numbers should be included in an account number. An account number contains a pure numeric pattern, but some foreign banks use the alpha-numeric combination in the account number.

Two users cannot have the same account number in the same bank. As the cases of banking fraud are increasing day by day, banks are working on making every account number different from users of other banks also.
