See thats the proper lack of understanding the Guidelines.
Negative only for the non maintaince entries will be considered as per RBI guidelines
Remaining charges like Dc AMC, nach failures , all should be paid. (But if manager satisfies he can close the account without asking you to pay).
This is the reason why now pvt banks has changed their methodology in collecting Non maintainence .
They wont make your balance negative, they make your account lein for how much charge to be recovered.
Simply.
Negative balance for SMS ALERTS, NACH FAILURE, CHEQUE FAILURE, AMC DDERED C CHARGES,
Lien entries for NON MAINTAINENCE CHARGES , so they are not comming under the purview of guidelines. ( done by HDFC BANK)
But I argued with the RBI ombudsman in friends case as COMPLAINT NOMINEE , and RBI ombudsman after several requests CONSIDERED it as voilation because of BASIC STRUCTURE of protection given by your RULE was voilated by this loophole. He said me to join in law school.
And given directions to HDFC PNO to refund all charges before that period .pno aggreed and did it.
