How is HDFC Bank's Flexi account different from regular Current Accounts ?

The Flexi account includes the following privileges :
  • Flexibility of higher cash deposit (home location) & anywhere transactions (payments, collections & funds transfers) limits during peak seasons, since these are based on the average monthly balance (AMB) maintained in the account
  • Calculation of free transaction limits based on balances maintained in the transaction month, leading to a high level of customization in tune with current business requirements. If my season starts in November, I get transaction limits based on the Balance maintained by me in November and not in October or September.
  • Low minimum balance requirement of Rs. 75,000/ per month.
  • Competitive pricing on and faster Collection of Outstation Cheques.
  • Free up to 40 Pay-Orders per month.
  • Free up to 40 Demand-Drafts per month.
  • Free RTGS and NEFT Transactions.

What is the minimum balance that I need to maintain in a Flexi Current Account ?
The minimum balance to be maintained in a Flexi Current Account is Rs.75,000/- (Average Monthly Balance). In case of inability to maintain the above minimum balance, the account holder would be levied a charge of Rs.1000/- for the month in which the AMB has not been maintained

How much cash can I deposit in my home location branches in a month without charges ?
The free limit for Cash Deposit at a home location branch would depend on the AMB maintained during the transaction month. This free limit is calculated as 12 times the actual AMB maintained during the transaction month or 50 transactions per month, which ever is earlier. In case of more than 50 transactions or cash deposit of more than 12 times AMB at a home location branch, charges @ Rs. 3 per Rs.1,000/- would be applicable, subject to a minimum of Rs.50/- (excluding taxes).

An illustrative example of the Cash Deposit at Home Location Calculation is as under
