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.

ICICI Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Tariff scope
Retail fee index covering mainstream Savings plus ATM, debit-card, digital transfer, BillPay and Basic-account exceptions. Relationship programmes remain separate.
Who the tariff applies to
Applies after matching the customer's ICICI account opening cohort, relationship programme, debit card and transfer/payment channel.

Axis Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Tariff scope
Product-scoped retail fee index. Easy Access is a mainstream balance-fee example; Liberty illustrates separate cash/card pricing; Priority/Burgundy demonstrate relationship waivers.
Who the tariff applies to
The exact Axis Savings/Salary/premium account and linked debit card must be identified before a fee is applied.
02What maintenance costs and waivers are recorded?Keep waiver conditions attached to maintenance charges.

ICICI Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Account maintenance
Reviewed mainstream Savings: non-maintenance charge 6% of shortfall or ₹500, whichever is lower. New-account MAB structure from 1 August 2025 is ₹15,000 metro/urban, ₹7,500 semi-urban and ₹2,500 rural.
Waivers
Salary, Basic Savings and relationship programmes can waive or change selected base-account charges; no waiver is treated as universal without a controlling product source.

Axis Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Account maintenance
Easy Access: ₹6 per ₹100 of average-balance shortfall, capped at ₹600 metro/urban, ₹300 semi-urban and ₹150 rural under the reviewed current MID.
Waivers
Priority-linked debit-card issuance/annual fee can be nil while Priority criteria are maintained; Burgundy debit-card issuance/AMC are waived for Burgundy segment customers under reviewed material.
03Which effective-date conditions govern the charges?Check date logic and the full current cost wording before using a tariff.

ICICI Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Effective-date logic
2026 fee-revision notices trigger re-verification. A notice title alone is not used to fabricate a changed amount; the detailed current schedule/product page must identify the value and effective date.
Current fee posture
For the reviewed mainstream Savings structure, non-maintenance charge is 6% of the balance shortfall or ₹500, whichever is lower, subject to programme/account exemptions. ICICI Platinum Debit Card is ₹300 + GST annually and ₹300 + GST to replace.

Axis Bank Banking Fees & Charges

Effective-date logic
Axis MIDs carry product/version context. The exact current product MID is controlling; older or different-product schedules remain separate rather than being averaged.
Current fee posture
Axis fee economics are strongly product-specific. Current reviewed Easy Access terms use a balance-shortfall formula capped by branch category, while Liberty has its own cash and card tariff; Priority and Burgundy can waive selected debit-card fees only while programme conditions are satisfied.

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.

ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank Banking Fees & Charges

  • ICICI's 2026 notice board contains multiple Savings fee revisions, including March 1 and a later June 17 update. v1.44 does not infer an unspecified charge change from a notice title alone; it keeps the current product/tariff value until the detailed first-party schedule identifies the affected field.
  • At non-ICICI ATMs, the reviewed free-count/post-free pricing differs from ICICI-own ATM treatment; do not compare only the ₹23 withdrawal charge without the preceding free allowance.
  • Programme and account-opening cohort can change MAB and waiver treatment, so the mainstream Savings tariff is not universal.
Axis Bank

Axis Bank Banking Fees & Charges

  • Axis does not have one useful bankwide Savings fee table for every customer; current MIDs differ by product, and v1.44 keeps those differences instead of inventing a universal Axis tariff.
  • Liberty cash allowances and Easy Access balance penalties come from different products and are not combined into one fictional account.
  • Premium debit-card waivers are relationship-dependent and can cease after programme downgrade or loss of eligibility.
