Are LG code and LC code necessary for opening a fixed deposit?

These are the codes through which the bank provides incentives to the bank employee for making me open the FD. Every Branch has some target. The same is passed on to the branch employees & RM. 

There is no harm to you. But you can ask them to send later the FD receipt to your house ( if you don't want to visit the branch for hard copy ). If they Deny and tell you - You have to collect from branch. Then simply avoid their LG /LC codes.

@MagicalChat is right. Employee get incentive 

Thanks a lot! The person could have simply told me the truth and requested me. I would have gladly entered the code. But, since the person lied to me that it is the code for the branch, I am not going to use the code. 

Just try to put yourself in employee’s shoes as well. What’s the harm in putting a code when u take services from the bank?

P.s: Employees will only go extra mile for you when you provide business and FD/CASA is a very very small contribution on liability side 

I would have gladly put the code if the person had gently requested me the favor. But, not only did the person lie to me, but I was also misguided. I wanted to open a sweep-in FD and could not do it through netbanking. The person misguided me that for a sweep-in FD I have to come to the bank and apply manually. I later realized that sweep-in FD can be done through netbanking manually after first creating a standard FD. The person wanted me to come to the bank and make FDs through a manual application so that they can fill in the code themselves without my knowledge. To achieve this the person hid the details about how to convert a normal FD to sweep-in FD through netbanking. 

Is inconveniencing another person for one's own selfish benefit the right thing to do?

Employees are going an extra mile to make a small contribution to their own pocket at the cost of me taking some time off my work, driving a car, burning fuel, paying for parking, searching for a parking slot in a busy market area, and driving back. I hope employees stop going such extra miles!

What is my HDFC BANK LG code

LG stands for leads generator and LC stands for Lead Converter, usually the employee code is mentioned here to track the employees performance and incentivise them. There is no harm in filling that code.
