if majority of the spends are online than HDFC Smartbuy alone can be a good reason to go HDFC.

If u want offers go for hdfc/axis. 10000/month MAB I think. Or get SBI . and make a fixed deposit of 25000 for credit card. Don’t remember remember the name

Don’t have much knowledge which bank account will be the best for a student……
But from my personal experience, my father opened a PNB student’s account in my name when I was about to get into the college. It was and still a zero balance account & provides all the facilities including debit card, Internet banking and phone banking except the issuance of cheque books and credit card. Since, during college days I wasn’t a shopaholic, so never went after or bothered about rewards/offers provided by my bank/account (if any) on online shopping. However, I used to get debit card reward points for all my tranxs at 1 point /Rs 100. The account is still active till date. Annual charges for debit card is about Rs 112.
So would like you to enquire about student account of every bank along with a normal account so as to weigh in the advantages over each other…….
PS:- Please confirm the above mentioned details on the bank’s website. It may have changed overtime in all these years…

SBI is best in this case! My AMB is 2000. Even though i never mantain it, they charge me 20 to 30 max
I have hdfc also, and they charge around 177 grin
Sms and atm charges are normal too! Not that high!
U generally find instant discounts on hdfc/axis or sbi! The other two have 10000 amb. Sbi seems a better option!
P.s. They also give reward points for debit/credit shopping!

If your location is serviced by DBS, go for a digibank full kyc account.
IF your parents already have account with ICICI, make n account with ICICI and ask them to create a family relationship including your account. MAB would be at relationship level not at account level.
