Bump here:
I have a similar question - I opened a HDFC Preferred account for my wife.
(This is linked to my Preferred salary account - so basically it is a 0 balance account)
She got millenia debit card with the welcome kit, but the letter says easyshop platinum card is free for this account.
My question - Is Millenia debit card chargeable for this account, or is it free?
(From the thread above, I understand that it should be free, but just confirming if something has changed recently.)
