ICICI Bank Account Opening Experience - Comprehensive Discussion

I already wrote above. Even asking for 1 lakh account .

Yes, you did. But, my apologies; the way you wrote suggested that they were just "asking". It appears that now their online form system requires those things?

So, I have told the lady that on principle I am not going to go forward with this, that my initial funding and the TRV over 6 months ought to be enough. Else, they can always downgrade and call it a day.

They are opening a savings account here, not offering a credit card or a loan where they need income proof. If this "proving" requirement is waived off, we can go ahead and open the account, else, they may keep it. There is nothing that attracts in that account, except that the branch is near and I thought okay, no harm in having an account with a branch so nearby. They seem adamant on being ICICI, which means I will be banking with better banks either way.

We should not force open account in any bank with such a huge criteria. In future they may miss use our data. Like open demat , auto investment. When asked they will say while opening account you signed in T&C
