Best bank in terms of interest rate and other benefit..
After Deposit insurance increased to Rs. 5Lakh, seems there is more confindence in small banks with much better offers than big banks.
I request dimers to share a better bank from the perspective of Benefit in terms of Interest Rate and other online offers.
Here I will start with my pick IDFC FIrst Bank, as I am having account for more than 6 months.
Key Points-
1.Monthly Average Balance required is Rs.25K
2. Account can be opened online using aadhar authentication.
Key Benefits-
1. Interest rate on Saving account balance is upto 7% (Section 80TTA provides for a deduction upto Rs 10,000 on such interest income)
2. Rs. 250 cashback per Month on BookMyShow
3. Recent offer- Swiggy Get 60% discount on 3 orders per Month using IDFC First Bank Debit Cards (credit to @BLANCO)
4. Signature Debit Card is completely free.
Account opening+ First time offer-
1.Rs 250 amazon GV
2.Rs. 250 cashback into account on first online transaction of Rs. 2500
Message directly @Dastro for referral link, I will share my referral benefit also
do you have the answer for closing account charges?
can this be done at any branch ? assuming no home branch concept
BMS voucher per month for how many months ?
One more point to add:
Aadhaar online authentication needs to be followed by a visit to any IDFC bank branch to complete the full kyc/physical verification.
@Dastro can you confirm whether 7% interest is applicable on entire amount for balance above 1 lakh & not like if acc balance is 110000 then 6% on 1 lakh & 7% on 10000(amount above 1 lakh) like other banks(kotak,dbs etc) do.
On entire amt 7% i have confirmed with bank cc
govt has “permitted” increasing the limit to 5 lakhs. but the actual increase has not yet happened
Already done, rbi has notified.

Branch not available at my location , may be launched soon
Open in some other city where it has branch,now aadhaar address proof is universally accepted & need not be in the same city as branch with only condition being you will have to personally visit the branch to submit the documents(kotak 811/dbs digibank/axis asap not included as these acc are completely online & cannot be opened by visiting a branch).
Can I select the branch if I open an account online by a dimer’s referral? My branch will be the same where I visit to submit KYC documents? I don’t mind that also.
Yes, you can select the branch you want
These new bank with Higher Interest rates are only offering these rates to attract customers initially, these interest rates are definitely going to fall. Though you can definitely make hay while the sun shines

What is the difference between opening an account in IDFC through a referral and directly at branch?
People who want to refer here offer BMS voucher which is of no use for me. On the other had, employee will get some perks/incentive if I open account at branch which will help in making good relation with branch staff if I have to do regular banking with them.
Will I miss something else if I open an account at a branch?
Yes, you are right.
If you need branch service multiple times, you can try your way.
I will share my experience-
First time I got my account opened through branch only. Infact RM came to my home and did all formalities smoothly.
But in last 6-8 months I had contacted him only 2-3 times for some query, but in every time at the end He asked me to get him more accounts opened of my friends and family.
I find Phone Support is much better and they resolve all issue timely. If I send email they call me, understand the issue and resolve it.
And now days RM is decided by bank based on your account value.
I got a mail after 4 months of my account opening stating that-“I am your RM, you can call or email for any assistance”
What are the referral benefits? And what are the terms and conditions of BMS cashback?
Recently opened DCB elite account myself. Debit card transactions online and offline give 1.6% cashback if we maintain AQB of 25k. Max cashback of 2k per month and 20k per year. So opened an account for a family member also to make credit card payments through both cards and get cashback. Works really well if you’re a heavy credit card user. (Bye bye CRED)
Sadly, they don’t have a referral program yet.
Edit: DCB Shubh Labh is another account that gives 3.5% interest plus 4.8k bonus if Savings balance is 1L+. Indirectly you get 8.3k for 1L which is a very high 8.3%.

The Welcome letter which comes by BlueDart courier mentions a 2L Withdraw/4L POS per day but both the site & the app mentions 1.5L Withdraw/3.5L POS limit per day…
Can anybody Please explain this ?? I think the letter version is wrong…
Does the card comes with Airport Lounge Access?
Yes , 2 free airport lounge access every quarter , i.e. 8 in a year
Send me the referral please.
Need a referral link guys!
Someone, please send me and referral code.
Good information. Thanks.
Anyone got Amazon voucher after account opening as a referral benefit?
Some got , some did not
and I don’t think that referral scheme applicable on opening account offline, as you opened account offline, it will benefit the agent who opened your account not you.
Send me link and referral code. Also is there any charge if we close account or any other hidden charges
