I totally agree with you Srini, today is an era of Branding and ICICI spends so much in doing 360 degree communication this was certainly not expected out of them what happened on 8th July. I also have an account with Kotak Securities. It’s been quite a while that am dealing with them and haven’t had any complaints so far. Just check this http://www.kotaksecurities.com/accountsection/index.html , am sure it will be of great help to you.

Yah, Pravin, there’s no accountability, SEBI must take some action against them, I hope somebody have complained to SEBI for this incident.

Thanks srini, you are right, rather then spending crores on ads, if they invest more in tech side to make their site stable, that will help more to them. Ironically, they are the most expensive broker, they deserved to be dumped by customers now.

For MF investments, I strongly suggest HDFC as they charge flat Rs. 100 quarterly fee irrespective of no. of SIPs/Investment in MFs. For equity, will definitely publish here when I make a decision.

There you are,Dont you think their “Kahayal Aapka” ad is ridiculous? even if the spend a min to think about customer and the customer service rather than spending crores on “Khayal Aaapka ” things will be easy for Customers. I am also an unfortunate Demat accnt holder with ICICI and looking out for better Service provider. I got lot of recommendation for Kotak from my friends.
Please publish when you decide on some demat service provider..

I agree Jagbir, that there is no accountability here. Lakhs of customers were stranded unable to trade and not a word of apology from the bank. I wish SEBI would put some norms in place and penalise them for not providing service and make them refund the annual charges.

4. Banks do not use actual money, folks. It is faux money. It grows on trees. It has no actual value. It is a debt redemption coupon. It is the material of fantasy land.

Sid,

Thanks!! You should add a new label, say “o” and roughly estimate the budget for it. later when required put entry in daily log mentioning the label to track it. let me know, if you need further help for labeling.

This is really good.. I have been keeping records of my personal expenses in wordpad.. .however this looks really cool.

How about adding another Label for the amount sent to home? for me like poor people… who sends a lucrative amount to home and yeah the worst thing is… you cant budget it as you don’t know whats coming as a requirement from home next month.
