Crafting a mesmerising piece of jewellery involves expertise, creativity, and an eye for detail. Similarly, running a
successful jewellery store requires the right financial tools and practices. One of these tools, often overlooked,
is a Business Current Account. If you are wondering how a Current Account can aid your business, read on further to
get more information.
The foundation
A Business Current Account is important for the financial stability of businesses. It separates personal and business
finances, building credibility. Offering efficiency, it manages transactions, aids record-keeping, and allows access
to credit. This specialised account underpins operations, ensuring transparency, credibility, and smooth financial
management.
1. Smooth cash flow: Like the lustre of a diamond, the cash flow in a jewellery store should be
flawless. Current Accounts ensure easy inflow and outflow of funds, without any restrictions on the number of
transactions.
2. Professionalism: When you make hefty purchases, you will prefer transferring to a Business
Account rather than a personal one. It reflects professionalism and builds trust.
3. Overdraft facility: Sometimes, you might need to purchase raw materials but are short on funds.
With the overdraft feature, you can withdraw more than what is in the account, helping maintain business continuity.

Charges and fees
Not all that glitters is gold, and similarly, not all Current Accounts come without charges. Here are some things you
might encounter:
- Maintenance fees: Most banks, including Axis Bank, have a minimal maintenance fee. It covers
the cost of providing you with top-notch services.
- Transaction charges: While unlimited transactions are a feature with some banks, excessive
transactions might come with a nominal fee.
- Overdraft interest: If you avail the overdraft facility, you will be charged interest, much
like a short-term loan.
However, with Axis Bank's Digital Current Account , you get competitive rates, making it an excellent choice for your
jewellery business. Features and benefits include contactless account opening, no need for documents, zero service
charges, 1% cashback on the e-debit card and can avail of over 250 banking services.
Easy documentation
Opening a Current Account
nowadays is as simple as buying a pendant from your jewellery store. Here is what you will likely need:
- Proof of business existence (GST registration, business licence, etc.)
- Identity and address proof of the proprietors
- Recent photographs
- Application form and a cheque from an existing bank account
While this list is pretty standard, it Is always best to check specific requirements. For instance, Axis Bank offers
an easy online process for documentation, ensuring you do not waste precious business hours.
