There

Congratulations!!!

There is only one criteria that there should be a single monthly credit in the account of 1.5 lakh and overall 1.8 lakh credit per month. I checked with RM he mentioned that they are not checking salary. Just a single credit of 1.5 lakh or above and overall credit of 1.8 lakh is fine.

Although it is mentioned as salary account, they are not verifying it. Overall montly credit should be 1.8 lakh.

Nothing major. Just metal debit card and free locker for 1st year. Also, You get all the banking facilities for free - which is now common with every bank. Plus no need to maintain AMB.

Yes, No need for AMB like other banks

Unfortunately this has to be opened offline. There was no initial deposit. I UPI'ed 5k after opening the account.

One benefit is not good which is cult fit live instead of elite subscription.

Excellent staff at the branch. Kept on trying till they succeeded. Got run time error 3 times, and succeeded on the 4th attempt. Initially they thought run time error was due to not giving company code for salary account but I insisted that my friends opened without company code. They agreed and kept on trying. Thanks for such wonderful service.
