To enjoy "Zero balance " on your corporate salary account, your account needs to have monthly Salary credits. In case salary credits have stopped for two or more months you are required to maintain AMB (Average monthly balance) as per the product variant or AMB of Rs 10,000 (whichever is lower) ,failing which applicable charges will be levied.

As a bank, we are transparent in communicating the rates and charges of our products and services.
