I just saw everyone was filling the form for it, so I joined in the hope to save money. Money lying around at home gets spent. If it is in the bank, it will be safe and will be of use What are you saving money for? What is your goal? I would like to get my daughters married with it. Only one of my daughters is married, the rest are still studying. What do you like best about this service? The best thing is that it makes saving possible. If the money stays home, it gets spent. In the bank, it gets saved...whatever it is, 10 or 20 rupees Anything else? Not really. I want to use the saved money for my children... Any money lying around in the house gets spent.... Saved money can be used for their education and later their weddings Before this, did anyone in your family have a savings account? No... So you are the first one to use this facility.
