Dear members,
I need your help and guidance regarding two different concerns of mine of same nature. I have been thinking of asking these queries for a long time in the forum but did not ask because of my "kaam toh chal raha hai mentality". You will understand what I mean by it by reading my whole comment.
Questions are related to the two bank accounts of mine: one with the Axis Bank and the other one with the SBI the most horrible and jahil bank.
My issue is I want to change my Axis bank branch address. Currently the branch I have account with is 7 Km away from my home. I want it to get transfer to the branch that opened recently near my home. But my Zerodha account, mutual funds etc. are linked with this Axis bank branch. Also my stocks and mutual fund dividends etc. come directly in this Axis bank account.
Therefore I want to know from the well-informed and helpful members of the forum. Will the Axis bank branch address change affect me, Zerodha, mutual funds companies and other things linked to it in any way? What steps should I take before requesting the bank to change the branch address. Can it create any problem for me in future? Please guide me, tell me everything about it.
Secondly query regarding SBI is slightly different, but of same nature.
With SBI I intend to close the account all together. I have had enough of their dheela dhalapan and their computer illiterate mastikhor duffer lazy-bum staff. It is The most pain giving, frustrating, jahalat-fliled bank ever. Don't ask me why..
But if I tolerated them so far and I have not closed the account with them, it is because of the same earlier mentioned reasons: The account is liked with my local broker, legacy financial matters, insurance, mutual funds & stock dividends get directly credited in it etc.
So the question is if I go ahead and close my SBI account then what will happen to my concerns which I have just described as reasons (in above para) for not closing the account? What I have to do/need to ensure my financial related things continue to work as they were working with new or other bank account after the closure of SBI account? I want things to be smooth and problem free. Have no time for locha.
Wish there was something like bank account number portability. What are you doing RBI? Huh.
As an aside, I think your replies to my queries can/will help not only me but other members also; not to mention those as well who will come to this thread through Google search. Saying this only for the benefit of the uninitiated, not for buttering or to evince responses.
Thanks for reading this longish post and your replies.
