14.HDFC regular savings rural - Very good because of their Twitter & email support but if you try to connect with human very disappointed never connect their toll free to person my first experience was very bad with Bank due to digital ac opening my vkyc got rejected due to my & Pan photo mismatch till 1 years I didn't use after year I again visited branch for biometric got Millena debit cards very happy with their rewards rate still paying 590/- no issue feels I can recover it their app & net banking ui is very old sometimes upi inward failures I noticed like sbi over all mixup type review looking for long run as many peoples suggestions somewhere I found Heavy penalties on fd withdrawal I never passed through.

16. Axis Easy Savings Rural 5k - You can't imagine this axis took 5 times long effort to open due to some technical difficulties my mobile no unable to generate their ac no every time after initial deposit it getting error after 3 weeks effort & Twitter supports it got opened with cheque deposit specially for this I arranged cheque for 16k initial deposit unless they want allow , their credit cards rewards rate very good still people are ready to take challenges of their consolidated charges because axis always all-time high for their charges, even customer support is good including Twitter & sms service I found very long period even your cell phone outage for a day you will get sms but in consolidate charges they will take single penny keep in mind their debit cards ok but charges high .

Now From DEC 2024 Onwards - Getting closed no uses further for Axis .

2024
