[JustMak]

yes, i created account last month (without any initial funding), it is now active, now I have to add funds to get the debit card.

How much is the min. funding requirement for issuance of this debit card?

Cannot submit before activation and funding.

@telescope Can you confirm how much is the funding requirement, post activation, before request for debit card and cheques could be raised?

Hey guys, what banks you used to fund this account? And does it let you add a "For Further Credit To" section? I was trying in Canara Bank but couldn't find an option for it.

will this brokerage account allow me to invest in US ETfs/MFs? if so, I might take a look at this, also what are the wire charges for sending money from my account to the brokerage one?

Not MFs. US Mutual Funds are just for US residents. ETFs are available. Wire Charges will depend on your bank.
