DBS bank reduced interest rates on first 1 lakh from current 5% to 4% from 1st Feb so now for for 2 lakhs in dbs you will get an avg interest rate of (4+7)/2 = 5.5% It is still a bit better than kotak which also gives 4% on first 1 lakh & 6% on balance above that 1 lakh. Now it seems like IDFC ( 7% interest on entire balance if it is above 1 lakh by even a rupee) & DCB bank(effective 8.3% interest incl cashback on 1 lakh but not more than that as cashback is capped) are the best options for keeping money in savings account.

from best to average bank, no physical banks means less trust
Now they are allowing users (Savings account) only from the cities with physical branches
I think dcb is best now, so I will open account in dcb elite account.
Idfc is better
<= 1 Lac – 6.00%
> 1 Lac <= 1 Cr – 7.00%
Best part is that you supposedly get 7% on entire amount if balance is even 100001 & not like 6% on 100000 & 7% on Rs.1.
So, it means DBS got enough CASA
Doesn’t this mean IDFC & DCB still have low CASA to offer higher interest rates.
This was Uday kotak’s reply when I asked him about decreased int rate for <1 lakh. https://mobile.twitter.com/udaykotak/status/113...
He is correct though & I understand.Major banks can’t afford to give higher interest rate because of their large size compared to smaller banks like IDFC & DCB. Kotak service is fine but their credit cards are not worth taking & personally seen a friend getting rejected for a credit card just because he was not holding any job currently but the avg bank balance he kept in kotak was enough to get him a decent ltf credit card if he had maintained the same balance in hdfc or icici.
