The banks can not permit commercial transactions in a savings bank account, as different types of accounts were prescribed depending on usage.   The number of operations, amount to be credited, the number of cheques are limited in a savings bank that carries interest, in case of current account the operations are unlimited and credit balances carry no interest.  It is the discretion of the Banker and members can not have a say as it is clear that savings bank is investment banking for limited purposes and not meant for commercial dealings.

Better to use current account as if your transaction exceeds the limits of saving account, the Bank system automatically may seize your account. Thereafter again you will have to write letter or meet the Bank Manager to release your saving account.

Since the business transactions are vo0lumnious and very frequent, it is always advisable to operate the account by a current account instead of the savings account.

While a Savings Account is one wherein you deposit your savings with the bank and earn interest on the same, a current account is one where you deposit money to carry out business transactions.

A savings account can only be opened by individuals for their use. It is generally opened for a short term to save money for vacations, make big and small purchases, etc. Current account is opened by businesses or firms who want to conduct various bank transactions according to the need of their business.

Savings accounts are suitable to build emergency funds, whereas current accounts facilitate regular business transactions. Unlike a saving account, current accounts do not have any limit on monthly transactions. You need to maintain a relatively higher minimum balance in a current account than a savings account.

for any nature of business concern, so far, CURRENT ACCOUNT is necessary to be open in your BANK ACCOUNT.
