Updated by Sumit.C Hello Manoj,
I received a reply from HDFC bank stating that my charges have been waived. Thank you very much for all your assistance. However, my other problem still persists.
No one seems to take my account conversion request seriously. It's been a week since my HR team has submitted all the necessary documents with Sector-16 HDFC branch, Gandhinagar. However, my account is still a regular savings account and no one has processed the request to convert it to Salary account.
I am trying to reach every individual in HDFC bank to process this request at the earliest.
Kindly, take a look at this matter and help me resolve this issue.
Kind Regards,

Updated by Sumit.C HDFC misinformed me about the charges being waived.
I rechecked my account today and it shows HDFC deducted two amounts from my account on 11th January 2018.
1. RS: 684.23
Ref: MIR[protected]
Narration: AMB charg for MAY 2017
2. RS: 226.77
Ref: MIR[protected]
Narration: AMB chrg for FEB 2017.
On 8th January, I received an email from HDFC stating and I Quote:
"Please note that the account is already in regular status and as a one time service gesture we have waived these charges."
So, They mentioned that they have waived all previous charges. However, on 11th Jan, they charged me again for 2017 which is contradicting their own email.
I have also submitted my documents to the nearest branch but they haven't processed the request yet. So, I am not certain how is that my fault.
Also, These charges should be refunded to me as you have already waived the charges as a one time gesture, so you should not have charged me in the first place.
HDFC is really disappointing me. Stick to your words, you are a financial institution, your words should hold a value.
I wouldn't recommend HDFC to anybody if they do this with all their clients.

Updated by Sumit.C So, the charge have not yet been reversed. Also, my account has not been converted to Salary account yet.
I submitted the hard copy of my Joining letter weeks ago and nothing, no action taken by HDFC till now.
I am not certain what someone needs to do so banks do their jobs properly on time. I submitted the hardcopy of my document at Sector - 16, Gandhinagar Branch.
I am requesting HDFC to convert my savings account to salary account and update it in their system so it displays the same on my end.
Thanks for responding.
Again for the future note - I am updating here too that I have submitted required closure document to kharadi2 Pune branch on date - 19 January 2018.
But I am still getting mails for my same account. I am not sure whether my paper is being further processed or again same thing is happening as it was happening. I have closure receipt with me for future reference. Now I have come back to USA so I can't visit HDFC branch physically. Hoping respective person at HDFC kharadi2 Pune branch will take care of further action for closing my account. I tried twice to contact respective persons in kharadi2 pune branch by mail about this so that if anything is required.
But I could not get any reply of my mail from them.
Hoping this time my account should get close.
Thanks
Ankush
