@RupeeBachao if you have great relation with your RM (which is a rare thing with our RMs lol ), your account won’t be downgraded…HDFC itself doesn’t downgrade the accounts in Classic or Preferred…I have seen several people not maintaining 1 lac in Classic & 2 lacs in Preferred but there accounts didn’t get downgraded…It’s upto your RM to decide if he/she will downgrade your account or not but considering most (if not all) RMs are crap in most Indian banks and they are only interested in forcing you to buy Insurance policies,MFs, SIPs, FD/RDs & some other crap banking services to achieve their “targets” which you may never need…So, you should not take the chance of not maintaining the AMB if you really want to stay in Classic…
P.S. My Yes Bank RM told me once to close my FD which I booked online just 1 day before & do an FD through him & transfer all my balance from other banks to my Yes Bank Account because he is not being able to meet his targets for that month…
RMs are a joke in Indian banks…Several times I had to block the number of my RMs…
Thank you for explanation
@Sushrut.B Suppose my account got downgraded to some other variant.Then, Do they charge immediately for platinum debit card(750+gst)?
If you keep atleast 25k AMB, then your account will get downgraded to SavingsMax account & EasyShop Platinum card comes LifeTime Free with it…So no charges will be applicable for it…But if you keep below 25k AMB, then it will get downgraded to the basic 10K AMB account where you will have to pay 750+GST for Easyshop Platinum every year…
As per my experience..
Mine is a 12 yr old account, originally opened as zero balance, for with basic atm card. Rarelly used it for coming few years.. and kept hardly 1k in that for next 6yrs.
Than.. got it converted to salary account, got easy shop dc offered lt free.
Around.. 2yr back.. salary credits stopped into hdfc, they changed it to normal saving account..and enforced 10k mab requirement.
But dc was never charged or downgraded from easyshop.
PS. I maintain bare minimum 10k mab, and a standard customer right now.
I am maintaining less than 100 rupee in my hdfc acc
still it is in preferred category
rm told me to fund something
I told him no money coz of corona
From March they removed the min balance requirements. It’ll be downgraded after August.
If we pay credit card bill with easy shop platinum card will we get rewards ?
Yes ,you will get 1% cashback if you have paid it from hdfc billpay platform.
Classic customer for 3 years. Never had more than 20000 balance since 2018, still enjoying all previleges. Current balance is Rs.59. Enjoying platinum debit card for free, it’s 750 pa otherwise. After classic upgrade, got regalia first credit card too. RM calls once in a while asking for any loan requirements. It may be after seeing my balance, my RM never asked me to start an FD
How to check, if the account is classic or not?
Is it shown on netbanking that this account is classic/regular/special etc?
I do get calls from RM every month asking for loans, but he is more interested in deposits.
man…ppl take RM seriously? i never even bothered to speak wid dem
Earlier i was maintaining 10k in my basic account but now a days my saving account balance is 1lakh+. Will i get upgrade automatically or should i call rm or visit branch.
If you keep 1 lac balance for 3 months, you will get email from hdfc.
Yes.
