I am searching for an ICICI Bank branch in Chennai that has a lower monthly balance requirement for a savings account. I've been to a few ICICI Bank branches to open a regular savings account, and I'm finding it quite frustrating that they expect a high monthly balance just because I live in the city. It seems different in rural areas. I'm looking for an ICICI branch in Chennai that will allow me to open a normal savings account with a lower monthly balance, as I’m unable to meet the ₹10,000 monthly balance requirement at the moment. 5 0 replies
Am I joke to you? I'm working at SBC, and it feels like my seniors always assume I'm wrong, no matter what I do. Even my tasks get rejected before they’re even reviewed. But when my colleague submits the exact same task (which I asked him to share), it gets approved without any issues. It’s frustrating and honestly starting to get to me. I don’t know what to do—any advice? 1 0 replies

They also tease or make comments whenever someone gets into the auto. Once, an auto driver was extremely adamant about dropping me off at my home. He even asked for my number, which made me feel scared.... 1 0 replies
