I have a salary account with ICICI (don't remember variant, prolly Silver). Haven't been charged a single penny since opening (Jan 2021). No Debit card charges (Titanium DC), no maintenance, no SMS, nothing!

That sucks to hear that ICICI doesn't give LTF DCs ...

Yes i also have titanium debit never used it though. Not even a single transaction.when i asked them to close the card they said if you will close the card you will not be able to use mobile and internet banking 😔😔

That's just nonsense! Why do you need a debit card for mobile/internet banking. I think they're fooling you.

 

[Bob78900]

Some banks might have policy. Many apps like Canara require DC authentication from time to time. For example when SIM is taken out from phone. So this might be a real issue

Yes in canara you need dc for mobile banking activation. And now i guess you need dc for net banking also to.generate transaction password. Few years back my father need net banking but he didn't have dc so he got a pre printed id pass for net banking i don't know about now.

I don't know they are fooling me or not .this is what the executive told me😔

Yeah net banking kit is available at branches for most banks.

Can you tell the banks in which debit card is not compulsory for net banking?

 

[Batmanbaba]

Icici and au bank require compulsory debit card.... Else you won't be able to do anything... You get kit in icici from bank... But you won't be able to activate imobile and netbanking without entering grid numbers printed at the back of icici debit card... Even during payment via netbanking you need that .... Even for changing email id... So its mandatory....

I have opened an au account without debit card... I am unable to use anything in the app or netbanking without debit card... The account is just lying idle.... You need debit card to activate the transaction rights.....

They are not fooling..... Debit card is required in almost everything in icici.... You can take the basic smart shopper.. It only cost 177 per annum.... Or these days they are only handing out titanium.... Which in way is their premium card..... Don't know about charges....

 

[Batmanbaba]

Yeah you need those grid numbers

Do you have any premium account in icici.... If so can you ask your rm what is the salary required to upgrade in gold salary account from regular salary account.... In my salary account... I have two upgrade options.. The gold salary and the one salary account..... On one salary account... It is specifically mentioned that I require minimum 1lakh salary..in benefits section.... . Nothing mentioned on gold variant....

Not directly related but i guess it is not only based on salary account. Mine is wealth management account without any salary transfer, and balance is below ₹25k, but high limit credit card only. If I remember correctly, my account got converted to wealth management after linking cards. Not sure if it's bug or feature. Been like this since last 2 years now.

HDFC is just better for everyone in terms of products and services, I feel.

ICICI and axis needs to pull their game together in salary account market.

Wealth management is not a salary account.....

Thts actually true. 100%
Sometimes while adding a Fund Transfer Payee or sometimes during online payment ( randomly ) you may be asked grid numbers mentioned on the back of your Card. So, you need a Debit Card for Internet Banking. Also, just to mention, it is the SAME for HDFC Bank. You will not be able to activate Fund Transfer ( considering your acc is new) if you do not have Debit Card.

Do not know about Min Salary Req😅 But yaa The Debit Cards (for the respective variants) are given are free of charge to salary customers.

One salary account they have clearly mentioned required 1 lakh salary deposit....
And compulsory salary deposit for first 3 months after upgrade or new account opening.... For rest.. Nothing clear

 

[AllSeeker]

If you have active account you need to keep a debit card related to it, even if it's just e-debit card. Don't be afraid to go to rupay option, it's a good option especially if you want a low cost (and sometimes free) debit option. Also, I think some banks give e-debit for free to online low variant accounts. Example kotak 811.

Banks will intentionally not give you debit rupay cards saying there is "chip shortage"

I had experienced this in some banks at least. But you still need to insist on it. Come to think of it now that I've closed axis online rewards, I've only one other physical debit card which is non-rupay and its also something I keep for free due to account variant with the bank. 🤣

I can attest to this only one salary has requirements of 1lac. Rest are not mentioned i was offered a account upgrade to gold i think i tried for the upgarde few days later i got a rejection, even though the offer was from icici itself on my netbanking portal. I had called cc regarding this even they did not tell me the limit said probably 1 lac or 75k, i then said point blank how are working without knowing such terms and condition .🤐


I still see the offer on net-banking i dont even bother to apply.
