Updated by shailesh kanherkar Hdfc bank representative called me and we had discussion that we can close this account otherwise start it again from scratch. For that he asked me to come to satara on 16th august to meet up with manager. Once I went there, I had discussion with couple of people including manager but they aren’t agree to make it 0 or close it. They want me pay whole amount.
I even tried conveying them RBI rules regarding saving account. But they are not ready to agree, this is ridiculous.
No negative balances in savings accounts: RBI
According to the RBI, if any bank continues to debit charges on a savings account creating a negative balance, customers can approach the banking ombudsman.

In response to an email sent by TOI, HDFC BankNSE -0.08 % said it “does not allow the balance in a savings account to go negative due to imposition of charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance“. The statement added that there are no charges for reactivation of the account in future. Axis BankNSE 1.88 % said that it does not accumulate charges for non-maintenance of balance. An ICICI BankNSE 0.40 % spokesperson also said that it does not create negative balances in savings accounts
What HDFC said in response to that rule 3 years ago and what they are doing is something else.
I don’t understand why so much of gap when it comes to execution of this rule?
I have tried booking ticket from Goibibo. My money was debited but the ticket isn't booked. I didn't get refund till now.
