Getting Emerald Private Metal Based on Salary

[ash_m]

Corporates have tie-ups with banks like ICICI, HDFC allowing more privileges like higher tier of salary account, best forex rates, lower eligibility for CCs etc.

In my case, I got an invitation for EPM from my corporate RM on my personal mail, in a month of opening my salary account with them. I didn't open for CC though, just got great forex rate and I had good amount of USDs to transfer.

Don't think they invite now. This was a bit before iShop launch.

I am being politely requested to open salary account with ICICI (they are not forcing it), so I am going with it. I'm opening the account with a guarantee for EPM. Even before applying for account, RM took my salary and other details, got my eligibility checked for EPM and confirmed that I'd be getting the card. The account got activated today, and by 1st or 2nd, he'd get the approval for EPM. Let's see.

In this scenario.. i will open salary account.. and close it after getting EPM if I dont want to shift my salary to ICICI..
Now person who helped is asking to transfer the salary account to ICICI.

I got EPM in july with 2.85 LPM salary.

No salary account shifting or demat account opening was asked.

My salary account is with some other bank and icici person didn't ask to move salary account as well

For me also same scenario with 2.75 LPM
