Physical dc is not mandatory, you can get virtual card and use app, netbanking and upi also. True zero balance account 👍🏼
While opening account it's asking to choose the physical debit card and if I skip that how would I be able to register for upi or NetBanking/BobApp for the first time? And if I couldn't enter the app then there's is no option for generating the virtual app, right? If there is any other trick please guide me.

What about NSDL and Fino?
Can we link Slice account i.e. NESFB to other UPI apps like GPay, Paytm etc
NSDL has maintainance charges.
Slice can be linked on Paytm, Phonepe and Gpay. Not on BHIM tho
