@Kashish Sindhi Not only you but many of indians facing Same problem. I think you can’t reclaim the charges from bank. They are automatically generated charges. Even though you can contact with your bank account branch manager. You should ask if any chances of getting the fine. But keep this in mind we are living in a government which charges poor and innocent people daily wages. So, don’t do this again.
@Kashish_Sindhi, You have chosen the right topic at the right time. Many Bank customers will be caught unaware of changes in charges for keeping Minimum Balances in idle Bank accounts, where someone has discussed this topic very widely.
