TF Select
I hold following bank accounts

  1. ICICI Bank (Savings) - For salary crediting and investments
  2. IDFC First Bank (Savings) - for savings purposes, it gives good rate of interest.
  3. DBS - Idk why I am still holding this.
  4. Paytm Payments Bank - Had opened it long back, not sure why I am holding this too.
  5. Fi.money - For day to day transactions as my primary savings account would get cluttered with few hundred rupees transactions.
  6. Jupiter - Had opened alongside with Fi, thinking to close this.

Pls Explain a bit
 
Heard it has very bad charges
And also heard that no charges incurred
Whats your experience on using it daily?
Does it collect charges like for virtual card, sms, transaction etc?
So I checked and,
  • SMS - 5 free per month, ₹0.30/SMS after
  • Acc. Maintainence - ₹42 + GST (around ₹50) per quarter
Damn this account does cost me tbh. will shut it down and move to a PSU like SBI as someone suggested.

Yah bro
Why Choose a payment bank with huge charges.
A bob lite with three virtual only card will cost you zero.
Close Airtel ASAP
 
1. Sbi : state govt salary package acc
2. Bob : advantage (1k mab) for investment & upi
3. Hdfc : opened for credit card but they reject credit every time
4. Maharashtra Gramin Bank : local bank as it is near and all family number accounts.
5. Uco : opened during college (inoperative)

Want to close HDfc any suggestion for not closing it.
