Hi all,
I have only met dead ends when trying to open a bank accout in India since I have Canadian citizenship. It seems, I need a proof of permananent residence in India to acquire any utility services as well as bank account. This I.D. is based on your name in Ration card which you get by having your name in voyer's list, both are prohibited for a foreign national as I understand. I hope I am wrong and may be someone can help further. I am a Canadian with Indian origin.
