It should work depending on your negotiation skill.I am aware of the criteria like 50k PPOP and a 2 cr TRV.
I don’t have any relation to ICICI, but lets say I go to a branch and tell them I will make an FD of 1 cr and as an incentive want the Emeralde Private Metal. Do you think it will work?
ITR 1.5 cr
CIBIL 800
BM will say that they need to wait for 3 months so PPOP gets generated on basis of your FD and any other investment. After that, they will apply for EPM.
It's risky bait because there is no guarantee that they will honor the deal as they can always give an excuse that PPOP is less. There is possibility that some BM may get you EPM once PPOP is generated.
If you have surplus amount, you can try this for sure. There is good possibility of getting EPM, depending on willingness & efficiency of BM.
But I will suggest you to not do FD for more than 6 months, in case they don't honor the deal, you can invest it at any other bank after 6 months for better return.
Tell BM clearly you are doing FD for EPM only and future relationship with bank/branch will depend on their overall service and getting approval of EPM.
If you don't have issue sharing ITR with bank, give them your ITR & ask them to apply. Once they get all approvals from above management, then only you will do Fixed deposit. Then they can proceed with application.
Once BM confirms he/she got all approvals to initiate application for EPM, take this in writing in email/whatsapp. Then proceed with FD.
