hello guys…. has anyone tried opening an icici pocket savings account?
https://i.imgur.com/tTpeBTN.jpg

Update: got all the info i needed….
This this awesome… I mean its SUPER awesome
U get an 0 balance savings account with a international platinum visa debit card …. Yes here international means turely international…. After getting DC all u have to do is contact CC to activate it….
How to apply for saving account:
Click on deposits or iwish… Then u will see apply now
Fill out the details.
U will get a call from the bank(i got it within 30 mins)
Executive will visit at your place for documents and stuffs… U dont need to porvide any xerox copies or anything… They take the pic of originals…. And ofc your pic too :p

This account comes with all features that fulfills everything….here are some
1) 0 balance
2) NEFT free both inwards and outwards
3) international DC
4) 10 leaf cheque book
5) here pocket virtual card and DC both are separate things… I guess everyone knows what we can do with that…

One drawback: we can deposit money physically only once in a month… But it is not of a issue…. Read all the comments, u will come to know why :p

This is called Account Opening Amount (AOA). Ask them to show you where it was written that Rs 10,000 was a requirement.

Would this account accept cheque deposits and international inward remittances?

Can someone post a schedule of charges for this account?

The only charge is Rs.100+taxes for the debit card. Also, you are only allowed to deposit money once a month free of cost at the home branch. NEFT and Money inward transfers from other bank accounts/cards are free. That’s all I have gathered. International inward remittances are a different story because RBI has different directives.

I recharged via the app yesterday and opted 25 off 100 offer( recharged for 110 and made sure the offer it ticked) but the whole 110 was deducted. Glitch?

@thrifty_indian
Oh..That’s totally weird .U can see the final amount before making the final payment.Then how come.Never had this issue.I think I had done more that 20+ recharges in the past months.

For all those who are wondering how is the refund process here is my experience
Here is how it works.If recharge information has sent to operator and got failed there.U may have to wait 7 days because it’s cash reversal to VISA card.So it’s same as other banks.(This case never happened to me ,so it’s my strong assumption). Mail them if u didn’t get the refund @ [email protected] rather I would suggest u to tweet @icicibank_care .
Call/Chat options is pain.

If the recharge didn’t went beyond app.Some times due error.There will be instant refund.(Happened to me 3 times,I only do airtel recharges ,ya 110 rs for 85 rs)
U may get that last confirmation message that “recharge is successful” .(Pls do take screenshot because of the bug u can’t see the statements via app so the reference number)

K bro..

3.And what is the good method you suggest for loading money in pocket account free without of charges
A.What I am doing is,I am loading cash into pocket “wallet” first.Which is free of cost as of now.You can use almost all Debit/net banking options available.Then I am transferring that cash into pocket “savings” account.It is an instant intra bank transfer (IMPS) .No charges there.

4.About documents
A.Check that screenshot.It clearly says aadhar is acceptable.

8.Inward remittance – receiving money to your business account in India from abroad .

9.If 10k is demanded ask the sales person to check the website show him the t&c pdf .It’s just that they have to attain their quoted margin.Threaten him if he is still demanding https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
