I am really not sure what their product head is sipping!
They announced it as this is the most innovative launch by them in recent years and actually it turns out like any other business card with changes in features here and there!
When they actually wake up and be innovative!!!

(Before they launch any other card, they should atleast have a dedicated app for managing the cards !!!)

I have recently opened this GIGA account as instructed by HDFC representative over phone.
new to HDFC Bank, at it has AQB (Quarterly) of ₹ 10000, but in statement it shows AQB/AMB Expected is Rs 0.00
I cannot understand what's the issue here anyone can help

Is AQB/MAB free for this account ?

Note : Tried to upgrade or downgrade to SavingsMax or Pragati Krishi account through xpressway but received an error message,
so upgrade or downgrade is not applicable to this account can anyone clarify ?
Note : Have an FD of 1L in this account.
Note : Completely digital account opened online branch has no clue for such account, representative over phone from Mumbai guided me to create account online.

if anyone can help here, Thanks in advance.

You either need to maintain 10K QAB for urban & 5K for rural or FD of 1Lakh for Urban or FD of 50000 for rural & you can use this account as zero balance as NMC will be waived off till your FD amount is 1Lakh/50K depends on your location.

Earlier Farmer savings account is now Pragati Account can it be opened in Urban Branch ?

[pradeepG]

NOTE : During Account Transfer online HDFC added new rule that Branch should be located at the same place where the communication address on KYC
