    Make note of the following points when closing an account in ICICI bank.

    1. Submit a signed application at any ICICI Bank branch along with the unused cheque book and ATM/debit card.
    2. Please note that if the account is closed in 30 days of account opening, then no charges will be applicable for account closure.
    3. If the account is closed after 30 days and within 1 year of opening the account, then the charges of Rs 500 will be applicable for the same.
    4. The balance amount will be sent to your communication address updated in their records through pay order or any outstanding amount in the account should be cleared before placing a request for the closure of the account.
    5. If your account is inactive, please submit a signed application to the branch where you have the account for its activation before placing the request for the closure of the account. (If the account is inactive or dormant).

      Be sure of the charges..and remember to destroy the card and cheque-leaves in the presence of the branch people while handing over the application. Ensure to recheck the address on Bank’s records in case a payorder is to be sent later.
      Most important, why take all this trouble..just let the account be!

      ICICI is one of the worst banks in India. The Branch Manager and staff themselves dont know what they are supposed to do and are inapt to solve. They waste customer’s time and make them run around with ofcourse no positive results. They have time to send out promotional offers but have no time and self conscious to solve the problem. They always advise wrong. be on your toes and always consult other banks. Seriously such a pain .
