General product research only. Recheck the listed first-party sources before acting because product terms can change after the recorded review dates.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Does this tariff apply to your exact account?Establish tariff scope before treating any listed fee as applicable.

HDFC Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Tariff scope
Retail fee index using Regular Savings as a mainstream base case while keeping Salary, Basic, Preferred, Imperia and Current Account tariffs separate.
Who the tariff applies to
Fee applicability depends on the exact HDFC Savings/Salary/Current/premium programme and linked card/channel.

Canara Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Tariff scope
Retail fee index using Canara's September 2026 service-charge page, card/ATM tariff and non-credit/non-forex service schedule, plus BSBDA overrides.
Who the tariff applies to
Canara account/product/card category determines the charge or exemption.
02What maintenance costs and waivers are recorded?Keep waiver conditions attached to maintenance charges.

HDFC Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Account maintenance
Regular Savings: metro/urban shortfall charges range from ₹150 to ₹600 by AMB band; semi-urban up to ₹300; rural AQB shortfall charges are ₹270 or ₹450 by band under the reviewed consolidated schedule. Programme exemptions can override only the matching product.
Waivers
Preferred and Imperia currently state nil savings non-maintenance charges inside the programme and waive the ₹850 annual Platinum Debit Card fee while programme membership is maintained.

Canara Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Account maintenance
Product-specific Savings/basic balance rules remain controlling. Canara BSBDA has no minimum balance and protected core-service treatment; no universal ordinary Savings NMC is inferred from the card tariff.
Waivers
Staff, Jan Dhan, BSBD and other stated financial-inclusion accounts can receive specific transfer/card/service exemptions; senior-citizen ATM allowance is separately higher.
03Which effective-date conditions govern the charges?Check date logic and the full current cost wording before using a tariff.

HDFC Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Effective-date logic
A fee row retains the source's stated effective date where published; legacy pages remain evidence conflicts rather than silently overriding a newer product/programme page.
Current fee posture

HDFC's current Platinum Debit Card page states ₹850 + taxes annual fee and ₹200 + taxes replacement, while Preferred/Imperia can waive the annual card fee during qualifying programme membership.

Canara Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Effective-date logic
The card/ATM schedule explicitly marks changes effective 1 September 2026 and the main service-charge index was last updated 3 September 2026; these dates outrank older tariff copies for the same scope.
Current fee posture
Canara's card service-charge page updated 1 September 2026 lists annual debit-card fees of ₹200 Classic/Standard, ₹500 Platinum/Business and ₹1,000 Select/World, with ₹150 replacement. Savings ATM post-free charges are ₹23 + GST financial; non-financial charges differ on-us versus off-us.

Product / programme / channel relationshipThe fee profile cross-references HDFC product tariffs; it does not turn Preferred/Imperia waivers into benefits for customers outside those programmes.The September 2026 card tariff is the current card/ATM pricing source, while the non-credit/non-forex schedule controls other banking services.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank Banking Fees & Charges

  • HDFC maintains multiple current and legacy fee pages. Where a dedicated current product/programme page conflicts with older tariff copy, the more specific current product evidence is retained and the conflict remains visible.
  • Premium-programme waivers last only while the qualifying relationship continues; a downgrade can reactivate the base product or debit-card fee.
  • ATM interchange pricing, branch cash pricing and debit-card annual fees are separate fee systems and should not be added together as if they were one threshold.
Canara Bank

Canara Bank Banking Fees & Charges

  • Canara revised ATM/Cash Recycler pricing effective 1 September 2026; older ₹21-era ATM withdrawal figures should not be reused.
  • Senior-citizen own-bank ATM free counts differ from general Savings customers, and Jan Dhan/BSBD/financial-inclusion exemptions can alter transfer/card charges.
  • Cash deposits through branch/CDM/kiosk can share one fee entitlement under the underlying account tariff; machine use is not automatically a separate free bucket.
