It does not requires any minimum balance criteria,so does the poor people want as they do not have enough money to keep it as minimum balance.

It is an easy access account  with all facilities in account is that they have now able to deposit money and get interest that they earlier use to keep it at their home and earn some interest also ,they will able to take credit with this account by making self help group through Mudra yojana, and also they can avail insurance facilities with subsidised rate   also they can avail all other facilities that normal account holders can get like they now able to  send and receive money to their relatives one
debit card , credit card , net banking etc.

Meanwhile government can also differentiate  this account to other normal accounts so that it can  transfer subsidies , pension and all other government schemes amount  directly to the needed beneficiaries'.
