Negative bank account balance: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued clear instructions to all banks that if a customer’s bank account balance goes to zero, their bank account will not be turned negative. These instructions were issued at the beginning of the financial year 2023-2024.

What to do if your bank account balance goes negative?
If your bank account balance goes into negative, you should take the following steps:
