Everyone knew the end will come one day but no one expected it too soon!

IDFC - An epic example of how good things doesn't last long. They realized they can't withstand anymore. Still it holds value for it's customers when compared with the other bank's premium programs. Thanks for being too good, I was/am/will be your grateful patron.
