Why IMPS? Use NEFT... takes 1-2hrs max and no extra charge
 
ICICI has asked me to visit the nearest branch that offer DMAT services. I believe in Gurgaon, this would require me to go to Sector 14 branch. Let's see. My last transaction clearing my account is still not visible in my savings account. Would keep this thread updated.
 
hehe. just got text that money arrived. now to confirm if my dmat account is finally empty and start the process!
 
Went to the bank fully armed with a printed application and photocopy of PAN Card.
At the bank branch, I was asked to fill a special form. Filled it up. Submitted and that's it.
It would take 3-5 days for the account to close down. Let's hope it is processed without any issues.
After that the process of savings account closure would begin.

woo.

though i was supposed to get a refund of rs. 250 for the remaining time period in the financial year. that has not arrived yet. i guess i would wait till the end of the month before closing the savings account.
 
At least two ICICI Bank employees have called me complaining about me complaining against them. The latest one was today. And my account is not even operational for a few weeks now.

I have filed complaints against non resolution of requests. I never did complain against an individual. But ICICI Bank is probably finding a scapegoat and punishing them and all the moral blame comes over my head.

Now that I saw that this thread was last updated in June 23... I should update...

My account was never closed in June. I was told it would be. But never happened. I even got a cheque for the balance account but the account was never closed. I assumed it did.

In September I think, I got a bank statement. I assumed it was an old one. Opened it to realize that the account was still operational. I got some interest in August which they ate up in the name of penalty for not maintaining minimum balance.

Sent a few angry tweets. Went to the bank branch and submitted an application again. Got a call from ICICI next day. Dude confirmed on the phone that the account closing has been done and it's over.

BUT. In the evening, I get a call from the guy at local branch with whom I submitted the second application. He was complaining about me complaining with the company which was now targeting him for not processing my application.

It's insane.
