IDFC Bank Zero Balance Account for the active CC users

TF Buzz
Has anyone recently received a whatsapp from the IDFC Bank, stating that they can open a zero balance saving account ( basically the 10000K balance account would be the variant and the one's who received the message need not to maintain any balance.

I did get that on whatsapp and on being lured by the same, I opened the bank account with the same link but now the bank says it is a 10k Balance account which I will have to maintain.

Has anyone own a similar experience and can help on how I can get converted to a zero balance or seek help from where. ?

I've been getting the message regularly and when the Paytm crisis hit, decided to open an account with them. Got the 10000 crossed off and 0 shown as MAB on account opening page, and got the same confirmed on the welcome whatsapp message after the account was opened.
However as I happen to be visually impaired, they refused to VKYC, I asked for an ofline KYC. After that was completed, I received a confirmation mail that said 10000 MAB. I took it up with the RM, and she got it checked, the mail said 10000 because there was a 2nd KYC request as apparently they needed a separate one to do the offline KYC. She got it fixed with the backend team in the end. The account you get under the offer is a 10000 MAB account, but those who have the account under the offer, there will be no penalty if the balance isn't maintained. So the offer is available as of now only for the 10000 account only.

I wouldn't say, I was lucky...
I went with a thorough plan.
If he didn't offer me wealth , I would not have deposited more than 10K.

I called CC and asked them to direct their local branch wealth RM to contact me.
He did within 10 minutes but asked me to maintain 10L for 2 months then only he would upgrade..I calmly said okay, see you later..

I blocked his number so that he didn't need to contact me again...

Then I asked this VRM. If he didn't agree to that again I would have blocked his number as well...

It is their business ..they had to come to my terms.
That is how I make them to deal with me..
Only thing I need to do is: Time it ...Time it really well.. then everything follows
