According to bankers, one of the reasons for the increasing number of dormant accounts is the use of only one bank account for regular transaction despite having two or more bank accounts. Nepal Bangladesh Bank’s CEO Gyanendra Prasad Dhungana said that the number of such dormant accounts has increased because of not using all the bank accounts regularly. He further said that some banks offer the customers to open bank account with zero balance. When such bank accounts are not used by the account holders, they become inactive.</p> <p>The central bank has a provision of considering a bank account as dormant account if it is inactive for more than six months. If any customer does not make any transaction including deposit and withdrawal of cash through the account within six months, it is automatically categorised as dormant account.
