Nepal SBI is a joint venture bank that is being operated with the collaboration of the State Bank of India. There are 3 players who are involved in running this bank and they are SBI, Employee Provident Fund, and ADBN. In this guide, I will tell you the complete steps that you need to follow to close Nepal SBI Bank account.
The process is simple but you have to make sure that you don’t have any dues pending or negative balance in your account. Because if there are any dues then the bank will not allow you to close the account. So first check your balance and if you found any dues or negative balance.
Then you have to deposit an equal amount of money in your bank account to make your balance zero. If you don’t have any dues in the account then make your balance zero on the day you are closing it. Do not bring down the balance well in advance. The bank may charge you for the non-maintenance of sufficient balance.
Before you close down your existing account I recommend you to make arrangements for an alternative bank account. If you already have another account then that is fine. But if you don’t have one then consider opening a new account. Just choose a good bank for you and open an account with them.
