What is a passbook and what is its importance?
A bank passbook is a physical notebook that every bank provides its customers when they open a savings account, recurring deposit, or current account. It contains the details of all the banking transactions carried out by the customer; some of which are listed below.
- Debit transactions
- Credit transactions
- The details of your fixed deposit (FD) accounts
- The details of your recurring deposit (RD) accounts
You could think of your bank passbook as a log of your financial transactions. While recording a debit transaction, for example, your passbook may contain details of the transaction such as the payee’s name, the method of payment, and the name of the bank. Passbooks are the vestiges of the traditional form of banking that is yet to be completely replaced by net banking and mobile banking in India.
