  131. I’m trying to get my account closed for good but am asked to travel in the times of a pandemic which is simple ridiculous. If I can visit my closest bank or send anything via post to the branch, they are not acknowledging anything on my end and expect me to travel states.

    The bank refuses to connect me to someone who can speak english while I cannot really understand Tamil

    I have had horrible experience with HDFC bank and cannot tolerate their negligence to my requests anymore. I’ve also raised requests on HDFC complain centre but no response.

    1. Yes sir,
      HDFC charges a 500INR account closing fee. You should have upgraded your existing account instead of opening a new one. Nevertheless, you should deposit the money and close it or else HDFC will keep charging you around 450 INR per month for “Balance Non-Maintenance Charges.”.
