Bank accounts under the Jan Dhan scheme can be opened with zero balance. In other words, the account holder need not maintain any particular account balance to keep the account account.

The overdraft limit of Jan Dhan accounts now stands at Rs 10,000, double than the previous limit of Rs 5,000, according to an official statement released last week.
