I opened a salary account with hdfc in 2010 which was zero balance account. I was told that i can have zero balance without any charge.in 2013, my salary stopped crediting to this account. And in 2017, my account balance reached close to rs 4000. When i logged in to my account 2 months back, i came to know balance is rs -8000 (Negative). Whatever statements i was getting for my account, it always says zero balance. Never says negative balance. When i went to hdfc bank, they says i have to maintain minimum balance of rs 10, 000. That's the meaning of zero balance account. After having long arguments with bank manager, he said if you make big investment here with us (Close to 20 lacs), i can waive off all charges. (Close to rs 12000). Otherwise you will have to pay more. Few days back, one payment of more than rs 1 lac got credited to my account. Now all negative balance got adjusted. Wow, i had great loss having account with hdfc. W
Suggesting all not to open an account with hdfc if you don't want bank to eat up all your hard earned money.
Many of my friends have faced this issue.
