Good news for ICICI bank customers as private lender reduces minimum balance requirements for...
ICICI Bank Minimum account Balance New Delhi: Facing widespread outrage, private lender ICICI Bank on Wednesday partially reversed its minimum average balance (MAB) requirements from Rs 50,000 to Rs 15,000 for new customers in Metro and urban areas. The revision came after a pushback from customers and days after the second-largest bank in the country raised the MAB requirement from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000 for new customers in urban cities. The minimum balance that new ICICI Bank customers in semi-urban areas must maintain has also been reduced to Rs 7,500 from Rs 25,000. For rural locations, the MAB has been reduced to Rs 2,500 from Rs 10,000 as recommended earlier. However, the bank has clarified that if customers keep a balance less than the prescribed limit in their account, then they will have to pay a penalty. Earlier in the day, HDFC Bank followed suit by elevating MAB to Rs 25,000, effective from August 1, 2025, for new savings account holders. As per the HDFC Bank updated terms, account holders should maintain a Rs 25,000 balance. For urban and metro bank branches, the penalty is calculated as 6 per cent of the shortfall or Rs 600, whichever is lower. Major lenders like SBI, PNB, and Canara Bank have removed the minimum balance requirement for savings accounts, while also removing penalty charges for non-maintenance. Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra has said that the minimum balance limit for savings accounts will be decided by banks as the decision does not fall under any regulatory jurisdiction, after India's second-largest lender, ICICI Bank, raised the monthly minimum average balance requirement for all customer segments. He further said that some banks have fixed this limit at Rs 10,000, while some banks have kept this limit at Rs 2,000 for customers. However, there are many banks that have completely removed it for their customers. 'This decision does not fall under the regulatory domain,' he clarified. According to an earlier ICICI Bank's decision, customers at metro and urban locations who opened their savings accounts on or after August 1 had to maintain a Rs 50,000 monthly average balance to avoid penalties. The minimum average balance for older customers remained Rs 10,000.

Mukesh Ambani (File) In another major business move by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL) the FMCG arm of Reliance Retail, has partnered with Ceylon Cold Stores to launch its Campa brand of beverages in Sri Lanka. According to details, the Campa brand's portfolio in the island nation will include Campa Cola, Lemon and Orange as well as energy drinks such as Campa NRG Gold Boost and Berry Kick. What is the Reliance-Ceylon Cold Stores partnership? The collaboration is part of a cross-promotional deal between Reliance Consumer Products and Ceylon Cold Stores under which the Mukesh Ambani-led company launched Elephant House beverages in the Indian market in February last year. 'We are excited to enter the Sri Lankan market with our valued partner Elephant House Beverages. Campa is an Indian brand founded over 50 years ago and continues to enjoy love from consumer even today. We are committed to long-term investments and see immense potential for rapid growth in the region,' said Ketan Modi, Executive Director, RCPL. Modi noted that Reliance has a strong track record of providing the best quality products to customers at affordable prices, and the practice continues with rapid expansion of the Campa brand of beverages. Why John Keells Holdings partnered with Mukesh Ambani's RCPL? Meanwhile, Daminda Gamlath, President, John Keells Consumer Foods Sector– which owns Ceylon Cold Stores– said the partnership with Mukesh Ambani-led RCPL is aimed at providing high-quality, diverse beverage options to consumers in Sri Lanka, and will help expand the Sri Lankan conglomerate's beverage portfolio, and also strengthen its position as a key local player in the country's competitive beverage market. Ceylon Cold Stores, the manufacturer of Elephant House beverages, is a John Keells Consumer Foods Sector, the FMCG division Sri Lankan conglomerate John Keells Holdings (JKH). Mukesh Ambani's Reliance acquired Campa Cola in 2022 for Rs 22 crore, barely weeks after the oil-to-telecom conglomerate forayed into the FMCG sector. In 2023, Reliance's FMCG unit announced the relaunch of Campa Cola, along with two other flavors. Reliance aims to revive the 50-year-old homegrown brand and take on industry leaders PepsiCo and Coca-Cola to capture India's soft-drink market.
