ICICI Money transfer NEFT working day restriction

When transferring money via the ICICI bank account, if you are transferring via the NEFT facility and you don't do so in the working hours then you get the below error








Most banks simply log the request for money transfer and simply show an alert at the end saying that since you transferred in the cutoff period for the day, you money will be transferred in the next working day. Instead ICICI bank does not allow to log the request. So now I have to log back in on their schedule to schedule a transfer. Totally inconvenient and BS. As per the cutoff times on the screehshot above, they are based on IST. This is an NRO account which means it for Indian citizens residing abroad. I reside in Arizona USA so what this means is that I gotta wakeup before 6:00am in the morning to log a transfer funds request? Goes to show that was there any thought kept when designing this thing for NRI's? Another reason to stick away from ICICI for NRE/NRO accounts. My other NRO account is Citibank and it clearly allows me to transfer money anytime of the day and internally schedules it on same day/next day based on cutoff times.

Do not open ICICI NRE/NRO account

I recently visited India 3 months back and unfortunately chose ICICI bank for an NRE/NRO account. Ever since I opened the account I have had problems with it. I have opened several accounts all over the world and none is problem laden as this. The site enforces excessive security that is totally not intended and unseen of. The site and its related services are down most of the time.

I have been trying to setup fund transfer on the site and have been unable to do it for the last two months. First there was an issue with setting up mobile banking. You cannot setup a fund transfer account unless you have a mobile number setup on the account. There is no online way to provide your mobile number. You will need to download a form, manually fill the details and then mail it to the ICICI center. Took two retries to make it work. Once the mobile number was setup, it had a problem sending SMS authorization code as I had registered a US mobile number. I was clearly told that US numbers will work and that SMS will be sent to any registered domestic/foreign number. I inquired about the issue and was told that the system may not support US numbers. What the %^ck is that supposed to mean? Its a NRE/NRO account and the account holder has to reside outside India and the system does not support US number? bull%^$%. Then I had to call a number in India to ask for authorzation. Once that issue was resolved then I had issue with the transaction password. The password issued to me first time had expired and it was not valid anymore and guess what, there is no way to re-issue the password online. I had to make a request and they would send the password to home address in India. That frickin took forever. Ok so once that was resolved then the site was complaining about no debit card linked to account so sorry cannot transfer funds. What the crap? I called the service once again and asked why was I not issued a card for this account? And the guy was like for NRE we issue the card but for NRO you have to manually request the account. I am like dude no bank in the world has this policy. Then guess what, I can only place the request via online and that frickin service has been down for the last 15 days and they don't know when it will be UP. The other way is to visit a local branch in India to make a request. Hah!!!! what a %6cking joke. As of now I am waiting for the system to be UP. This is it. I am pretty soon going to close this account once I get my money out. totally advise to choose another bank for your NRE/NRO account.
