ICICI Bank Minimum Balance Requirement?
Just heard that ICICI Bank now requires its customers to keep a minimum balance of Rs. 10,000.
The current limit is Rs. 5000…
Also, they are giving the customers a grace period of one month in case they want to close the account… After that they would be charging for this ‘facility’.
I am trying to get this document which one of my friends received. I am yet to receive this notice.
This would probably the last nonsense I would take from ICICI Bank.
They have already made it a pain to go their bank branch to get ANYTHING done.
You end up waiting for as long as an hour to get someone to talk to. This becomes a hassle when you have smaller tasks to fulfill. Even more worse is when you end up hearing that “you would have to call the call center to get this done.”
They would not give me a credit card for no particular reason. I maintain a healthy bank balance with them. I have a DMAT account with them. I have never been penalized for low bank balance. Duh.
When I used to do online trading, I faced numerous hassles getting their online backend to work.
Totally disgusting!
Update: Here is the photo of the document!
