[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — negative balance.

Hi, I had a Salary account which has become inactive and they were charging me more than 600 every month and my balance had become -1800 and odd rupees. As per RBI guidelines, banks cannot charge negative balance to their customers. I want to close the account as I am not using it now. Please resolve the issue. I was not informed before, about the charges. I got a message in July about the charges for the month of May. This is not fair I request the bank the waive off the negative balance so that I can close the account.
