ICICI is not only a lousy broker but not much of a bank either. In April last year, we didn't use their terminal because the people in their branch were completely unaware of the shares business. They dont understand the reports of their own software.
We opened 10 accounts(we are a joint family) with them in October'2004 and half the passwords are not working. They bungled up in opening half the accounts and even the current account was awkward.
They have a link facility by which they can link all the accounts. That is relevant only if all the accounts are in one person's name. If they link the acccounts, one can see all the balances on one screen. I requested them to do it for our accounts telling them that we shall give a power of attorney to our father who is the head of the family but they refused to budge. It is ridiculous that if i give you a power of attorney, you can withdraw money from my account but you cannot see it. They continue with their govt deptt attitude that there is no linking for power for attorney.
Only their infrastructure has changed. Otherwise they have the same mindset of nationalised banks- giving govt department like answers. One can convince pakistan to give up Kashmir but one cannot change their stupid obdurate stand.
In all the stock forums I have seen, ICICI is condemned the most and they are proud of their customer base. If only the customers could getogether and highlight this in a media magazine. What is the use of all these forums and information revolution and mass communication if an individual is still helpless.
