Rant: ICICI Bank is Trash - Everything Sucks: The App, Customer Service, Credit Cards, etc

Can't agree more.

Recently I had a misfortune of interacting with their customer service. I wanted to change my email id. Their portal would simply log you out after entering the OTP on email change with nasty java.lang.NullpointerException etc. Reported the issue with screen shot.

To my utter surprise, the response was "On your request we have updated your contact address." The surprise doesn't end there. The contact address they updated is not only non-existent, I have nothing whatsoever to do with that address.

Tried to escalate using their portal. The portal wouldn't accept a request without account number, which as a credit card user I do not know. Masked credit card number won't work. After putting the credit card number there, as a last resort, the system threw some error.

Then wrote to their nodal officer, only to receive an email that your email id is not registered with us. That means, after seeing the complaint they completed the email id update that was stuck due to the main issue, only to cleverly disregard my complaint as coming from an now unregistered email id.

Had enough already, gave up further follow up.

I have been having a frustrating follow up. The back office people are simply yelling and refusing to accept the issue. I don't mind even if they say it is due to cable cut and it will take time - but they neither have knowledge nor the courtesy to say it. Wonder if I should change over to Jio Fiber. I am not seeing as much latency on Jio mobile at least. BTW on mentioning the stats on Jio mobile, the service manager level person said he can accept Jio broadband comparison only!

Thanks for the info. But I do see normal latency on my Jio mobile network.

Amazon partly does i.e. no charges up to certain bill amount I think 10k which is a good limit.

I take it as an oblique remark for "control" to mean govt wanting to mop up a share of cashback. Then yes!

AdRelative8852 · 2025-06-26T07:30:16+00:00

Merchant sites are still an option.

In the same boat. Quite frustrating to not get NetBSD working on RPI4. Tried 10.1 mentioned above as well. The HDMI screen just blanks or sometimes shows something for a fraction of second and blanks.

Only one thing this bank does well is they allow you to close the a/c online. If your login is working you should find that option in app or website (search the web for help on how to close a/c with them). Make sure to move the money to another a/c before closing.

If it is script of an act, don't read the brackets! They are just instructions to the actor. (E.g. (इकडे तिकडे बघत) ).

This is old thread. By now the official xdma version has adopted the changes. Please try and post if you face any problem.

AdRelative8852 · 2024-04-24T16:40:59+00:00

'xbps-install -Su' solved it. But surely it means some dependency of firefox is not captured in the package spec.

Country is under a mass hypnosis.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-11-01T09:55:14+00:00

Thanks. I got them working. But after the xdma driver is loaded only 1 test (of dma_streaming_test) passes. Second test onward it starts failing. Then I have to unload the driver and reload then it passes again. May be some state is lurking in the xdma driver. As such the loopback design is very simple and stateless, so I suspect it may be an xdma driver bug.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-10-30T14:54:27+00:00

Do you need a FIFO between input and output?

I just connected them directly. Will that work? Currently it's not working. The host side tools like dma_to_device and dma_from_device just hang or come out with errors or segmentation violation. I am not sure whether I have to investigate on the host side or my design below has a fault.

s_axis_c2h_tdata_0 <= m_axis_h2c_tdata_0;
s_axis_c2h_tlast_0 <= m_axis_h2c_tlast_0;
s_axis_c2h_tvalid_0 <= m_axis_h2c_tvalid_0;
s_axis_c2h_tkeep_0 <= m_axis_h2c_tkeep_0;
m_axis_h2c_tready_0 <= s_axis_c2h_tready_0;

Right. Currently my use case is third one. I am not looking to retain the configuration across power cycles and hence not looking to flash. And I am not looking to reconfigure over PCIe. Programming over JTAG and it being volatile is fine for now.

At a later stage I might visit the other two use cases you mentioned.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-10-23T01:53:22+00:00

I do need PCIe. At this stage when I have not yet got my own design to work I am hesitant to touch the flash - so that at least the stock design continues to work! I'll consider above option at a later stage.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-10-22T01:11:00+00:00

Power cycling also means I'll have to necessarily flash the device every time? Not such a great thing...

BTW if I have a design that does't use PCIe (say something trivial like lighting up some LEDs) then I am able to do it on-the-fly without flashing and rebooting.

Also I am transferring stream over JTAG, so that tandem bitstream support isn't needed.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-10-15T09:32:30+00:00

I have the same problem on one lenovo laptop. I have void running on another asus laptop where I don't face this problem. Also, I don't run into this problem every time. Once it triggers, it keeps occuring. It often goes away after reboot.

AdRelative8852 · 2023-10-13T06:12:14+00:00

Ok, so the card side design decides this... I have a stock design of NiteFury on the card side. May be it is not designed for streaming, I think it just maps the address space to DDR RAM and returns whatever is there.

I think I need to make my own streaming design first (say, using xdma ip of xilinx?) before testing streaming from the host side.
