Bank Account in India

Has anyone opened a account in India before?

I am a british citizen and going out there in a few months and want to open a account in India.

Any advice or info would be great

    I would try with Citibank as you can do Global Transfers for free from UK, not sure if there is a small charge for transferring from India.

    There is normally a minimum account opening and maintaining balance in some countries with Citibank.

    Look at http://www.online.citibank.co.in/ and check out their site to see if it is suitable for you
