Is pre approved cc easier after opening bob account? I had a bob cc 3 years ago but it took physical verification and long time to get it. Then I closed it. I don't really want to deal with any verification anymore.

Bob physical verification is all about luck.
Even with 10years relationship, they do physical verification. For some ,they dont do any verification if customer is NTB
 
Hi , I already hold hdfc and idfc bank savings account for different purposes. HDFC is for salary and idfc for investments. Now I wanted a zero balance account for daily upi spends, with free debit card preferably from a psu.
So I selected SBI insta plus account that comes with free virtual dc. However, while applying the account, it's asking to submit details for physical dc that is definitely chargeable. How to skip that part? I want only free virtual dc.
Also, will I be able to setup UPI without physical debit card?

Another alternative is Bob lite But i have to maintain atleast 3k daily in order to waive off physical dc charges. I preferred SBI Because it would help me in taking their credit card in future.
Also are there sms alert charges in both these accounts? Pls guide.
I would suggest canara bank
Zero MAB, Rupay select debit card as fyf and it has lots of benefits actually.
As per my experience branch was less crowded than other psu. Visit your nearest branch once
 
From my personal experience, if you want a PSB zero MAB Account go with BOB. There are multiple zero balance account facility is available with them like BOB LITE or BOB ADVANTAGE ZERO etc. I would prefer BOB ADVANTAGE ZERO account over BOB LITE anyday. You can get Virtual DC for both of the cards also you can disable SMS alerts.

Pls remember, maintaining basic banking relationship like SB/CA/CC, these are good & superior than any other PSB with BOB. Please never consider any liability products from them like HL/PL etc. They are non-transparent & thugger. I lost around 6K from BOB for applying HL. One more point, BOB has uncleared outages from 12am every night. Though, UPI/DC can work fine. You can't use BOB WORLD App/Netbaking etc. Go ahead & enjoy privileged banking with Bank of Baroda. Try to select a prominent Metro Branch. You will not feel regretted with them.

Nice. Why advantage zero over lite? In lite I think if we keep 3k then even physical dc is free.
 
Apologies but SBI is the most abysmal dogshit bank ever with probably the highest UPI downtime. Please avoid SBI like the plague for Day to Day transactions.

Usable for investments only

... Don't bet on that either! Their TDS Certificates may not match with their Interest Certificate at the end of the year! Good luck having that rectified before the ITR filing deadline.

BOB Lite is basically a cropped version of BOB ADVANTAGE ZERO BALANCE Account. There are plenty of facilities like issuing EMT DC are barred on this account. Moreover, you can't switch it from any existing account of different product. If you need pure banking like a good tech savvy PSB SB/future prospect to open any CAA/planning to open a PPF or anything with BOB, my advice is ignore this variant. Ask BOB Branch to open Advantage Zero Balance account & they can open it easily without any hassle.

SBI is one of the shittiest & unreliable bank ever. Charges are comparatively higher than other PSBs except SB MAB/SMS Charges etc. technologically they are inferior to many top PSBs like BOB/INDIAN/CANARA etc. Those who are praising OnlineSBI is one of the top most superior product then I would say it is a biased comment only. OnlineSBI has an edge 10years ago, now most of the PSBs are well equipped with technological upliftment. Moreover, I found SBI's statement description is quite confusing & short which doesn't translate any meaningful data specially if you have too many ADC transactions. I don't compare PVT BANKS with any PSBs in India. Pvt Banks always have an edge technologically or functionally over PSBs anyday but they are quite costly now a days with the worst branch banking experience. So, if you need any PSB account which is technologically superior, overall good banking service or good branch banking, you may select many other PSBs like INDIAN/CANARA/BOB/IOB over SBI. If you have any prospective for having Govt transaction, you may consider SBI as a back up bank only, try to avoid. It's not worthy in any parameters now a days.
 
Linking rupay cards possible?
Also max limit to have balance?
Another shittiest & chargeable payments bank after FINO PAYMENTS BANK followed by AIRTEL. Service is not upto the mark. IPPB agents are not well trained enough even we don't have any clarity on their actual product offerings. Like, once I enquired IPPB Current Account for my wife but the agent was clueless though it mentioned it their website. Customer service is also bad. The real pain with their chargesheets. They are even charging for VDC & SMS Alerts(upto Rs 50 per quarter). Still, if you need a bank where you can transact seamlessly with POSA then IPPB may helpful for you otherwise I don't think, it has any edge over any other banks. Even, SBI is better then IPPB 😆

Agreed
Only reason to maintain is to pay Suganya samridhi scheme online
