Go for normal saving account. I didn’t see any need to deposit 25k just for a saving account and that too you have to maintain otherwise pay them more.

I didn’t have an account with HDFC bank but all banks have similar plans with different names so suggested on that basis.

They have lifetime platinum debit card free, unlimited cash withdrawal. Isn’t it worth? & 1% cashback on every transaction.

I have a regular savings account with them and not charged for Debit card(not platinum) either, I applied for lifetime free CC and use the CC instead(you get the CB and rewards etc). I rarely need to withdraw money hence I practically have no use for DC. 25k AMC is little too much of a burden for me. So again I don’t see benefit of the SavingsMax account. YMMV.

One of my frnd opened savings max account and got titanium royale card instead of platinum card,bank person said both have same benefits,is it ok??

Benefits on both cards are same, only usage / withdrawal limits are lower in titanium card 75k/1.75k vs 1L/2.75L
But I guess for personal usage it would not matter much

Ok bro..thnks for clearing the doubt.Actually his concern is whether platinum card makes him a valuable customer(hnw etc) in bank’s eyes and in the long run will help in getting good credit cards,i hope that’s not the case.

What matters to bank is what balances you give them like savings account balance, fd, etc
Platinum or titanium is card given by them & should be considered as return privilege & not as measure to grab something with bank

Is HDFC SavingsMax really worth i.e. some worthwhile benefits even if at cost of having 25k blocked with them in savings a/c min balance (for sbdy who wants to open an account with HDFC in first place?)…? https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_rolleyes.gif

I have savings max account.
Recently opened a new one.
I think Regular saving—→ to Max saving : Doesnot get automatically converted.
You need to visit branch and do the same.
Thanks.

Best is to make an FD of 5 Lakhs Rs. either with a quarterly interest or cumulative yearly or more tenure. Based on this you get – 1. Free Classic account. 2. Life time free PLATINUM Debit card. 3. Premium Credit card – either Diners black / or Diners Privilege / or Regalia based on your ITR. Of course 5 lakh FD will also be considered as a value of relationship for issuing Credit card. There are loads of benefits compared to Savingsmax or Regular account. However, FD rates at recent times are very low. One can wait for rates to rise, by then can manage with Regular savings account. If anyone interested in Sweep-out, better go for an additional KIDS account if you have kids. B’coz for Sweep-out the threshold for shifting to FD is only Rs. 25000 in Kids account, whereas, it is Rs. 1 lakh for Savingsmax account.
