    There is no limit to keep funds in your Savings and Current Account. But it will be advisable to keep funds in fixed deposit account if these are surplus for longer period.

    There is no limit but this amount should be legal which you have to show as a white money if asked by the Income Tax Department.

    You can put in as much as you want, but you want to find out the maximum amount that is guaranteed by government (in case if the bank went under). Same goes for current account, except that most current account does not pay interest on the deposit.

    Which country do you live in?
    Many countries consider current accounts as savings accounts (Indian version) – general day-to-day spending; while savings accounts are proper savings accounts meant for investment – no matter if it is long term or short term.
    There are restrictions in certain savings accounts meant for savings.

    You can keep any amount, there is no maximum limit. But why to keep in savings account, why don’t you make FD or divert it to Share market or Mutual fund.

  • Thinking of investing your savings?


    While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.

    Where to start?

    If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.
