Seems interesting. Will sign up if there are no hidden charges. Don't have the patience to look through the fine print though

ICICI savings account internet banking requires a debit card digits for authenticating transactions.

So how does the b2 branch free banking achieve the same process while debit card is not provided ??

They sent you a similar card with just the numbers for authentication. It wont function as a debit card.

Any Charges for VCC or any other facilities?

Gaurish ICICI bank has tendency to charge for MOST of services. For first year of Account, they charge at the end of year & than from next year (2nd year) in April month each year.

The only reason i have an ICICI Account is because i use its internet banking facility quite often plus the debit card but i have decided to close my account because i can't maintain a 10k balance being a student :/

I agree with you,

But Direct banking is fairly new concept in india. Hence ICICI hasn't been taxing on it.
