How many bank accounts do you have and for what purposes?

[raghavx]

I hold following bank accounts

1. ICICI Bank (Savings) - For salary crediting and investments
2. IDFC First Bank (Savings) - for savings purposes, it gives good rate of interest.
3. DBS - Idk why I am still holding this.
4. Paytm Payments Bank - Had opened it long back, not sure why I am holding this too.
5. Fi.money - For day to day transactions as my primary savings account would get cluttered with few hundred rupees transactions.
6. Jupiter - Had opened alongside with Fi, thinking to close this.

Is it a POSB account (NEFT wasn't possible, IFSC wasn't available, no app), or an IPPB account (NEFT and mobile banking possible)?

If the former, would it be possible for you to find out for how long NEFT has been working? Is the IFSC mentioned on the cheques and the passbook? If such facilities have been made available recently, the relevant news/notification has escaped me. Thanks.

Yeah, its POSA.

Who said it isn't possible.

I did have netbanking from 2020 (no transactions outside PO was available though), which stopped working one fine morning. Can't get it fixed without visiting the home branch. Currently I'm held up in a different town away from my home branch.

If NEFT has been enabled since 2020, the news hasn't reached me. When was the first time you were able to do NEFT?

 

[AritraSaha]

Its my mom account, no sure when she registered.

But able to do other-bank transfer.

Last time it was done is 1 week ago.

What the problem you are facing in net banking?

What the problem you are facing in net banking?

Do you know when was the first time third party transfers (incoming or outgoing) could be done? It wasn't possible the last time I could login to netbanking. As I've mentioned before, no IFS Codes were assigned yet for old style PO banking (not IPPB). That must have changed now since you could do such transfers.

I can't login to netbanking for a long time now. I haven't forgotten my password. Resetting it also doesn't work. And I am supposed to visit my home branch to get things fixed!

I'll get out of PO banking for good once my NSCs mature.

 

[AritraSaha]

If you not using posa as such( other then nsc) then just keep 500 on the account & forgot about it.

After 5yrs go to the post office for nsc.

Kotak Everday is a regular Account and You will get RuPay platinum DC.

My suggestion- close 811 and Open Kotak Everday.
Just 30 Debit Txns via Kotak Every Day Account , no need to maintain AMB.
If you use it for day to day txns 30 debit txns is not a big number.

Is there a set value of transactions to be done like Axis Liberty or 30 transactions of any combined value?

Customer induced transactions like Cash Deposit/Withdrawal, DD issuance, NEFT/RTGS/IMPS/UPI transactions, 5 ATM transactions (offus+onus),eCOM/Purchase transaction on Debit Card to be considered.

Txn value Doesn't Matter

A cursory look suggests that an IndusInd Select account (with 50k AQB, or free with a Legend CC) would be a better choice (except for less discount for a locker). IndusInd is a much larger bank as well.

For group here also it is 1 lakh. I dont see much difference. Pls highlight if you notice any major difference. Else it would just be extra exercise to close AU and go to IndusInd for almost same benefits.

If you can get a free Indusind Select account via the Legend CC (LTF), you may want to consider that. There would be the added advantage of a larger bank.

Otherwise, since you seem to be happy enough with AU, as long as your exposure is limited to 5L, why not just stay put?

People who haven't committed yet, might want to weigh both sides in order to make a better choice.
