I want to park a good amoount of capital as deposits either in Indusind bank or IDFC First bank. Both are paying similar interest rates. Which bank is safer for the amount beyond 5 lakhs. The share price of Indusind bank is Rs.1548 and the share price of IDFC First bank is only Rs.83. Does it mean Indusind bank is safer than IDFC First bank. Based on your inputs, I will open a savings acount with them. Please do not advice to split the amount as I want to put the deposit in a single bank for some exclusive reasons.

Had opened an account a few days back. The manager is saying I will get 7.25% for the entire amount in savings account if my balance is even 5,00,001. I told him my info was that the slab system is followed. But he was very sure. Thats why I asked here.

Anyway have asked him to send me any evidence for the same.

I fully agree that SBI is the most safe. I am not prefering SBI as i need a bank account which has linked FD or Flexi FD from which i can make IPO application. SBI / HDFC has sweep in /out FD but I cannot apply for IPO from such FDs

I don't think IDFC has this facility.|
Anyway, which way did you proceed and experience regarding the same?

what...
SA interest rates are temporary.
Also, what if I want to have better interest benefit for 5L only...

There is no excuse not to provide an option. The economics are such that it is profitable for bank (as other wise I would move to another bank). ICICI has this option since 2005.

@KGSIPO SBI has an account called Saving PLUS account which is by default sweeping/out account. Can you check if it supports applying IPOs against that amount?
