RM advises not doing it as it will affect her portfolio but I read that classic accounts with special gold gets downgraded easily for not maintaining 1 lac. She assure that this won't be the case as it's up to her to downgrade the account.

My RM insisted me on opening gold speciale + classic but I only wanted normal or SB max + classic so I went with SB max + classic. Ask her to make your account zero balance. If she does, then no worry for non maintenance and u can keep the gold + classic without maintaning 1L but you need to actively use the account for transactions to keep the classic relationship.

I don’t see any benefits for classic account apart from zero balance. Just for this benefit only, I have even converted my spouse account to classic family as well. Anyway I don’t keep much balance due to lesser Interest rates.

Does it matter what my account type is before I get into classic banking ? My mom’s account RM says I should change my account from youth to regular before keeping it as main account for family group. Does it matter what my account varient is and should I change my youth account to regular or max before joining classic banking ? @sujith8786 @prem4998 @Fanil @Manitian

bro My HDFC relationship was upgraded to classic banking a year back and then to Preferred banking 6 months ago , does this mean if I make my account zero balance now , In worst case my account can be downgraded to classic relationship  and the debit card will still be free.
