Best Answer

Minos can very well open a joint account. So there cannot be any reason why minors cannot open a joint account.

If you want to open an individual account then you must be atleast 18 years old. But, if you are a minor (less than 18 yrs.) you can always open a joint account with any of your adult family members like mother, father, elder brother etc. banks do not say no to any customer who wishes to open a bank account

Because, as per the law in most countries, 18 is the minimum age when a person is said to be knowledgeable enough to make financial decisions for themselves. So, minors (people less than 18 yrs old) are not allowed to handle bank accounts. You can open an account if you take your mom, dad or legal guardian to the bank along with you

A PPF, which is also known as the Public Provident Fund can be started in a minors name. It can only be opened on behalf of the minor and under any circumstance be established as a joint account. An NRI is not permitted to open PPF accounts, therefore parents are not permitted to open an account on behalf the minor.
