Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

Thirty five thousand rupees which you have in your saving account are equal to nisab as their value is not less than the nisab of silver which is 612 gram and 360 milligram. (Silver rate in the market is nearly 45000 per kg around Lucknow which hopefully is similar in other part of India). Hence you are sahib-e-nisab as per the Shariah. Thus zakah is wajib on you.
