20k for what benifit? Just for the card for which is anyway charged?

If someone wants lowest balance requirement - Canara bank requirement is only 1k min balance. Card is 100 + tax. Take a look at other charges though because many things are chargeable (like change in address, phone, etc). Service is not so good.

What about debit cards? Which bank gives best cashback for their debit card? Generally most banks don't give anything, with very few exceptions. But even their cashback rate is too low to be Intresting.

Any kind of personal attacks on anyone is strictly NO! Try to put your points in civil manner to help us maintain the forum decorum.

It is in response to the fact that he accused me of misguiding. I think it is not correct to accuse someone who puts forward his view with facts from kotak bank website itself. I think such an accusation deserves a response in kind  Further I have voiced my views in general regarding sweep in facility, but the defence was of kotak bank in particular. Clearly shows an agenda to me. Interactions mean understanding viewpoints not pushing agendas. Nowhere does he refer to my simple point that sweep in facility is detrimental if frequent and  quick withdrawals are required. Instead he says i misunderstood the simple English in which kotak bank has itself said the same thing on their website. I think my interaction was perfectly fine taking into account his responses and unsolicited direct message to me. It is not a personal attack rather an attack on the content put forward clearly indicating a vested interest  @deb3l

I have not maintained Monthly Average balance (MAB) in my ICICI savings account for the last 4 years. They also did not charge me for it. Does ICICI Bank deduct retrospectively if I do not maintain the minimum balance?

(In their System : MAB is showing 10,000)
