ICICI Direct account closure charges kya hain
It's not easy to close the ICICI Demat and trading account. The customer staff never responds
1. how to send the closing application by courier or post or any way to do it ONLINE.
2. If there are one or two untradeable shares what do. I do not mind forgetting about these shares.
It's bothering that when we want to open an account with any stockbroker we can open an account online but at the time of closing the account, we have an only offline method.
