you will receive checkbook in a week
And debit card, god knows
you need to keep on requesting them for that
I received my debit card after 40 odd days from my account activation date

It means I was charged like
debit card fee SEP15-OCT15 104.65
debit card free OCT 15-NOV15 -

No change
They should be Zero Balance Accounts
Anyways you can call ICICI CC to confirm if your acc is Zero balance acc or not
They cant change the account type once it gets activated

Wallet= No interest paid
Savings account: 4% interest on the amount added

So wallet account won’t have any min balance criteria.

I’m a ICICI user and had spoke to CC few days back reg some issue. They informed that ICICI has changed their t&c and they will charge every icici customer with annual debit card fee even for zero balance saving account . i.e. every icici customer will have to pay debit card fees per year. I requested them to revert the charges but they refused my request .
so, i didn’t request pockets physical card as well even during this offer period. can’t take risk with icici and they will unnecessarily charge me in future for some other reasons .
