TF Ace
I am thinking of seeing the IndusInd results of this quarter. After that I will visit my nearest branch and ask for a LTF Pioneer Metal with 30 lakh cheque. Let's see how it unfolds.
(at this time) If you are in Metro City 30L should be ok. For tier 2 city you can get away with 20L and for tier 3 10-15L should do the magic as long as it's a pioneer capable branch. Just a heads up about IndusInd's quirks
1. Try to avoid IP cheque and tell them you would prefer Online Funding via RTGS (make up an excuse like signature issue).
Reason: My IP cheque of 10L was stuck for 15 days due to a process pretty unique to IndusInd. Not that they kept the money in their account, but the cheque clearing itself took 15 days. All branches in my city send their cheques to another indusInd branch with less work load. This involves physical transport of cheques within city and there might be delays due to multiple issues. Not a big deal though.
2. While you are at it get add-on accounts for everyone in your family with 10-25K initial deposit. Don't budge on this, tell them you will go to another bank with this cheque and get family account for your entire neighborhood.
3. Ask them to open an extra delight account for you with manual approval (It's possible I have three a/c & again don't budge). If they ask, tell them you need one account for savings and one for UPI for safety. this account comes with a DC with 5% cashback on fuel. You can close if it gets devalued.
4. Get a standard locker LTF. (one time INR 100 stamp paper required, 2 photos for each holder)
5. Get at least one joint account with one of your family member (mother perhaps). For emergencies.
Note: Do not let the bank guys visit your home for ac opening. Go to branch. And avoid any insurance, FDs, any product they offer during a/c opening. Try to get things done via a junior employee (preferebly a girl), everyone should feel that you trust the new guy/gal more. Avoid talking to BM and DBM, focus on the new employee/girl.
This is trust me bro kindda situation, you will thank me later.
