This query is : Resolved
I have joined in a company in Nov 09 and opened a salary account with a private sector bank. But i resigned from my job within 2 months since I dont like the organisation , profile etc...
But I have settled all my dues and relieved properly. I want to continue to use my salary account as normal savings account. Now Does the employer has any right to ask for my personal information from the above salary account from bank ?

you can continue to use salary account as normal savings account. Now the employer has no right to ask for your personal information from the above salary account from bank .

agree with Mr. Aman. it was an additional facility provided by the company without any consideration and the same doesn't entitle them to access the personal confidential information of account holder of the bank and the customer.

Opening of account is a contract between the Bank and the Account Holder. Account Holder's details of account cannot be accessed by anybody except the account holder himself except under the judicial authorities like Lokayukta, Courts of Law etc. Your ex-employer cannot ask for any details from the bank and banks would not oblige if any requests come forth. Therefore, you can safely continue operation of your account in that bank.
