Finally opened the FF savings account today with the new interface that was updated on the IDFC application tabs that are with their executives. Thanks to
@Sourabh_13 , his previous post hinted me in this regard.
From the home page of their account selection, they have to opt for salary account. Here 'Future First for students' option is listed with other corporate salary variants. Select the institute under the list by typing out the name followed by your details. Previously the application system used to let them select it under the normal savings account variant. But now it is listed under salary account.
@pkpr Hope that helps!
One the side note, even the metro branches are not aware of this recent change and they are simply pushing us to open regular 25k MAB accounts, which is ridiculous given that students generally won't have such a huge amount parked in their savings. Also branch executives try really hard to open 25k instead of 10k for their commission and then later convert the account variant to FF. But this isn't required.
