Charges for closing your savings bank account:

There are no closure charges for salary and savings accounts. However, while you don't need to maintain a particular balance for a salary account, this isn't the case for savings accounts. Also, if a savings account is closed within a year of it being opened, it would attract a charge. Therefore, if you wish to close an idle account, you would have to pay the charge for not maintaining the minimum balance during the idle period. This varies according to circumstances.

A look at the charges for closing a savings account if minimum balance hasn't been maintained:

HDFC Bank Up to 14 days- Nil 15 days to 12 months- 500 Beyond 12 months- Nil ICICI Bank Up to 30 days - Nil 31 days to a year- 500 Beyond a year- Nil HSBC Bank If the account is closed within six months, the charge is 1,000, whether the average minimum balance is maintained or not Beyond 6 months- Nil
