Hi @Swati

Based on my experience with several banks, sharing my personal views.

Basic needs should have

  • Zero balance account
  • Easy account opening procedures
  • Zero/Low Maintenance charges
  • Good support
  1. HDFC - Largest private bank in India, more no of ATM’s and good online portal, Mobile app and good support.
  2. SBI - They have an exclusive option for Corporate Salary Package which offers wide range of privileges.
  3. Axis Bank - They have varied offering depending on the salary slab. Some features like Personal Accident cover, Zero Lost Card Liability are attractive.
