Just on Friday, I opened a savings account in ICICI with no issues at all. That too without any initial check, the account was opened and then money was transferred via UPI, with a 15K MAB balance.
This clearly shows that it is the BMs/RMs at individual branch levels who are conning customers by rampant misinformation in order to extract whatever they can going beyond the actual bank requirements.
And ICICI is just turning a blind eye for nefarious gains. Shame.
