I guess too many UPI transactions for offers etc are not being liked by banks and this is a growing trend.

omg, around 2016/17 I opened an RBL bank account and used that for paying the SBI cc bill, in 6 months I paid nearly 98L cc bills. The bank manager called and asked to close the account asap, same year bank reported to the income tax dept and I received notice.  problem here is once we close any bank accounts they will simply report them to the IT dept if we have any huge txns. luckily having one Kotak current account using from 2015, till now no issues even once I received 10L  (US currency) from my brother around 2017/18.

Use SBI account. They really don't care how much you use the account. They have more things to worry about like Lunch Breaks and Server nhi hai.

They also do. But they warn first and ask to open current account 
BUT in icici case they directly give notice to close account

More transactions account close warning😡. Fewer transactions then charge for not maintaining the monthly average balance. 😠 Banks push us to do more transactions on credit cards.... what banks want to achieve!!
