Hi All,
Scenario:
My cousin is travelling to India for a month. He doesn't have an India number and will take a new SIM for stay in India.
During this period, we want to open/link a savings account to this new number so that he can pay using UPI easily. The number will not be used further once he goes back.
Hence, we are looking for a temporary account opened on that number (without much hassles), that can be closed/left after one month. Alternatively, I can open an account, change Regd Mob number of that account to new/temporary one and change it back to mine once he goes back.
Earlier, I used to change number on my secondary Paytm account, but now that Paytm bank is barred by RBI, this wont work. I tried changing number for Jio Payment bank, but I think it is not allowed. I'm fine opening one on my name/aadhar and letting him use it....if its easy to change the mobile number and can open account easily on non-aadhar number.
Usage will be decent, so can open one with some 20-30K Initial funding as well.
Any suggestions to fulfil my specific requirement easily?
Possibilities:
1. Open any payment bank account - digital and where easy to open/modify details.
2. Opening a zero balance account on my name and get the number changed (or directly open using the new number). - Which one?
3. Change the number on any of my traditional accounts which I'm not using and change it back again by going to branch.
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS - Prefering not to open a full fleged bank account or change number on full fleged account as "it is hassle/pain getting it changed", plus they may also ask for branch visits which is to be avoided. Plus the cheque/ATM thing takes 7-8 days to come and account gets fully activated only after that.
