    It would be best to fund the account first, before applying for the savings product. Raisin do give you a grace period with which to fund your account, but I don't know how long this is. If you've already applied for the ICICI product and fail to fund it in time, you could just reapply.

    So you have unlimited time to fill the Raisin fund and then when you have enough in you can then apply for a product like icici?

    You can send money to Raisin whenever you like. It is just a holding account. So yes you can transfer over the money first and once it is all there apply for the ICICI savings account, at which point the money will be used to fund that account.
