Hi there! I am a 18yr old here and want to know what are some good banks for a 0 Balance accounts. As of now, I have opened Kotak 811 for which KYC is gonna be done this evening. I had applied for a HDFC account on 4th of december but yet no intimation from HDFC (Find this to be really pathetic, I applied for 811 day before and they gave account and all and just want to complete KYC today, really fast). Both applications were done online. I also have a minor account in ICICI which I will major but my dad is asking to make one separate account too, so is that possible ?
also, my parents have preferred banking in HDFC, Wealth managment in ICICI etc. so will it be good to link my accounts to theirs in the family banking program ?
Thank you all in advance! 🙂)

Was hdfc account number generated? If no then check out this thread once:-

Why is opening an HDFC account online such a hassle?

Opening an HDFC Bank SavingsMax account online has been nothing short of a frustrating experience. Their website advertises a fully digital and paperless process without any branch visit, but I'm starting to think it's all just smoke and mirrors. I followed all the steps, did my Aadhaar e-KYC...

At this time you have sufficient accs, if HDFC is also considered .... Will surely recommend you to get IDFC future first as most probably you are a college student. No charges at all, no nonsense account, zero balance.

Don't go above 2-3 account..

As your parents have hdfc & icici top tier account.. just ask the rm to open a account for you under the family banking.. will get same benefits..

Note - kotak 811 only good for small upi transaction,, don't put lakhs in there..

Hmm sure. Will do icici and Hdfc. The Kotak 811 is going to be used by my dad actually, mainly for transferring shares and all and for other demat things. I'll only have icici, Hdfc and actually might open the IDFC one

Yes yess, folks in this forum have been holding this acc at the age of 30-40 with 0 bal, obviously by big ip cheques🤣🤣
But in reality no ip is required for this, just show your student id to them. Just the branch should agree to open this acc
