Do you have a Bank Account? Off-course you do! How much money do you have in your account? 5,000?
20,000? or a few lacs? If you have a lot of cash, lying idle in your Bank Account, and at the same time you
dont want to commit to long-term investment, you need to enable the Auto-Sweep facility in your Savings
Bank account. This will make sure you earn good interest on a major part on the cash lying in your Savings
account.

What is Auto-Sweep Account ?

Auto Sweep is a facility which provides, the combined bene ts of a Savings Bank account and Fixed
Deposits. Auto-Sweep facility interlinks your saving bank account with a Deposit account and makes sure
any extra amount lying in your bank account above a threshold limit is automatically transferred to Fixed
deposits and you earn better interest on your money.
How Auto Sweep works?

This is how Auto-Sweep works. You de ne a threshold limit, and money up to that limit will be in the form
of cash in your savings account and any amount above this, limit will automatically be converted into a
Fixed Deposit and you will start earning normal FD returns on that part of the money. At any point in time,
if you need money more than is lying in your bank account, the money lying in the Fixed Deposits is
Reversed-sweeped into your savings account and you can withdraw the amount you wish.
Example
Ajay opens a new Savings Bank account with SBI. He enables Auto-Sweep facility on his savings
bank account and de nes the threshold limit of Rs 30,000 . Now suppose he has Rs 10,000 lying
in the bank, He will be earning normal 3-3.5% interest on this money. After that if he deposits
Rs 60,000 in his account, his total balance would be 70,000. But as this is above his threshold
limit, the extra amount of 40,000 will be converted into a xed deposit automatically and start
earning returns equal to normal Fixed deposits with SBI (for example 8%). This way he always
has 30,000 in his account for his daily requirements, and he has 40,000 converted into Fixed
deposits which again is available to him incase he requires it.
Now suppose he has to withdraw 10,000 from his account, he will actually withdraw it from the
cash lying in saving bank , and his balance will reduce to 20,000. However on the other hand if
he wants to withdraw Rs 50,000 . then in that case, as his account balance will be just 30,000,
an additional Rs 20,000 will be auto-reversed from his Fixed Deposit and he can withdraw total
50,000 .
Opportunity cost
A lot of us dont bother about how much idle money is lying in our account and for how long. This happens
because we think I might need it soon, so lets not commit to any investment. But then, the money keeps
lying in the bank for months and months and sometimes even years.
Suppose your account has Rs 1 lac for 1 year, it will earn 3.5% interest on it, which is Rs 3,500 for a year.
However if you have auto-sweep enabled in your savings account with threshold limit of Rs 20,000, the
additional 80,000 will actually be in form of a xed deposit and it will earn an interest of 8% (assumption).
In this, you will earn 3.5% of 20,000 which turns out to be Rs 700 and 8% of 80,000 which is Rs 6,400 , a
total of 7,100 , which is almost 100% more than the rst case .
2/34

A lot of people have much more than 1 lac in their accounts, not just 1 lac. You can earn some extra returns
if you just enable auto-sweep on your saving account . So nd out if your bank provides the facility, just do
it, and get it right away!
Also note that different banks have different names for this facility. For eg., ICICI Bank calls it Auto Sweep
, HDFC Bank calls it Sweep-In account , and SBI calls it Saving Plus. . Here is a list of other banks and the
name by which they call this Auto-Sweep facility (thanks for Gopal Gidwani for the info)
IDBI Bank Sweep-in Savings Account
Axis Bank Encash 24
Union Bank Union Flexi Deposit
HDFC Bank Super Saver Facility
Bank of India BOI Savings Plus Scheme
Oriental Bank of Commerce Flexi Fixed Deposit Scheme
State Bank of India Multi Option Deposit Scheme
Allahabad Bank Flexi- x Deposit
Bank of Maharashtra Mixie Deposit Scheme
Corporation Bank Money Flex
United Bank of India United Bonanza Savings Scheme
Disadvantages of Auto-Sweep Account

Auto-Sweep has some disadvantages too. In general the interest rates of normal xed deposit and FDs
under Auto-Sweep are same, but some banks charge a penalty if the FD under auto-sweep accounts are
broken before some duration like 1 yr and 1 day . But I think thats ne. If not 8% , you will at least get 7%,
still better than 3.5% .
Some banks are also known to give simple interest on the Auto-sweep Fixed Deposits and not compound
interest as in case of normal xed deposits .
Dont over do it
While Auto-sweep is a wonderful thing for salaried class people who want to maintain liquidity, as well as
want to earn more interest on their unused money, one should not over do it. If you are very sure that the
money lying in your account will really not be used for long, better to use the normal Fixed deposit or Debt
funds. Only if you are unsure of your money lying in bank and when you might need it, you should be using
3/34

Auto-Sweep facility.
The way auto-sweep works, it makes it an ideal place to park emergency funds . So if you have kept 6
months of expenses as your emergency fund in Saving Bank, then you can enable auto-sweep facility and
set threshold limit as 2-3 months of expenses, so that rest of the money can earn a better interest.
Comments: Did you know about Auto sweep account earlier? Do you think it will be helpful for you and do
you plan to enable it?

I believe its not worth, although the returns of upto 10% looks attractive but when it
comes to quantum of interest then interest earned is not substantial . It only increases
the complexity and I am sure even a nancial expert will nd it dif cult to reconcile the
4/34
4/21/2016
statement especially when FD is broken in units of less than Rs. 5000.

also savings ac gives interest of 3.5% on daily balance now making the sweep facility
not very attractive. Earlier this facility was USP of Private banks but now a days even
customers also dont show any interest in this type of product.

Why do you think daily interest on saving bank will give enough return , it
still comes out to be around 3.5-3.7% .
Also Financial experts dont go that deep into your Passbooks to look at
number . Can you share what exactly is the reason you think this is not worth
the hassle ?

Hi Manish
I had opened a auto sweep and reverse sweep account with ICICI
bank in 2002, however after 1 and half year the interest I earned
was around Rs. 2800 considering my average credit was Rs. 48000
pm and my minimum balance was Rs 15000 at any point of time.
Being a nancial expert myself i found that understanding and
reconiling of my statements was a herculen task. Trust me being
well educated in nance and even being a nancial expert I had to
spend a lot of time to reconcile my bank statement, I wonder what a
normal person would go through if he would have been at my place.
6-10 years back every bank was boasting of offering auto sweep
and reverse sweep facility which I am sure no bank boasts of. even if
they are providing this facility they never boast of or even mention
about this facility in any of its brochure.
Net net, reward earned by this facility will never match the
expectations according to the balances kept in the savings account. .
For the person whose average credit is Rs 10000, the kind of
5/34
4/21/2016
returns he would get will never be the worth considering the

trouble he would go through reconciling his statements and it
would be the same with a person with average credit of Rs 5 lacs
monthly.
On percentage returns perspective it might really be very
attractivebut when it comes to absolute returns its not a good
proposition

Ok , so by net return , you mean everything considering

Hi Manish,
I dont think there is a charge for this service from the bank. This is offered as a
complimentary service with the Savings Account to encourage people to keep money
in their Savings Bank Account rather than putting it in a debt fund. If they penalise
customers for availing this service then customers will not opt for this service and it
will beat the entire purpose of this facility.
When I was doing research on the same topic, I did visit websites of a number of banks
offering this product. But I did not nd anywhere mentioned if any bank is charging for
this service. If you are talking about any speci c bank which is charging for this service
then I am not sure and I may be wrong. But as a general trend since this product is a
complimentary product and this bene ts banks more than the customers (even
though customers get the liquidity of a savings account and returns of a xed deposit)
so it makes no sense for banks to charge for this product as it will dissuade customers
from availing this product.
I did read some readers complaining about their account statements cluttered
because of additional accounting enteries due to this facility. But I feel the cluttered
statement is worth it if it helps the customer earn an additional 4-4.5% over and above
the normal return of a savings account of 3.5%
Best Regards

I have one of these accounts from HDFC, but I have never seen any FD transactions, or
got any sweep in/out noti cations. I really have no way to nd out what part of my
money is earning what interest.
Moreover, the sales exec who sold me the a/c said anything above 50k will get FD
interest; I told him that Ill take it only if the amount is 25k, not 50k. He said he will get
it done.
But when I got the a/c docs, it showed 1 lakh i.e. only amount above 1 lakh will get FD
interest. When I called him again, he made excuses.
But for amount even about 1 lakh, I dont see any activity or have any way to really say
that this has worked.
Is there anything else that needs to be done to enable this? How do you know on what
amount, how much interest you got and for what duration?
Sorry if this sounded like a rant, I just had to ink it!

Thanks for that info, Generally bank will ask you in the form what amount
you need as Threshhold limit . banks will have their own minimum limit . If
you have sweep in enabled , then you should be getting the bene t , It cant
happen that Bank is not giving it to you and incase they are not providing you
bene t, its a clear case of service defeciancy and you should be complaining
abiout it to Bank and then to Banking Ombudsman (coming next in the
article) .
You need to take a step and enquire about it, because you are loosing some
potential money .

Hi Sameer,
My experience tells me that pvt sector banks charge a lot of money for small
services.
In your case keeping aside 1 lac in savings A/c at 3.5% defeats all the purpose
of opening a Auto Sweep In A/c.
SBP provides this facility for 10k with interet rate of9.75% (for 1 year).

In case of HDFC they have penalty of 1% on part of the FD which

breaks. IDBI bank does not have such penalty.
One more thing with HDFC bank is the FDs break in FIFO method.
ie oldest FD breaks
rst. My own experience was that due to this

This is what ICICI says about auto-sweep account !.

Dear Mr. Reddy,
Effective October 1, 2005, funds from your savings account will be moved to create
20/34
4/21/2016
Effective October 1, 2005, funds from your savings account will be moved to create
xed deposits only on your speci c requests.
We are unable to service your request to continue the facility of Auto-sweep in your
account as the last date (January 31, 2006) to place a request for continuation of the
facility is completed.
This is intimated to all our customers along with the account statements.
However, you can give speci c request to the bank to create a Fixed Deposit by
sweeping money from your savings account and link the FD so created to the savings
account.
Features of Money Multiplier account ( earlier known as auto invest account or
quantum optima):
The creation of linked Fixed Deposit (FD) will be done only on speci c request from
the customer.
1. You have to give speci c request to the bank to create a Fixed Deposit by sweeping
money from his savings account and link the FD so created to the savings account.
2.Minimum balance in the savings account should be Rs.15,000 to generate a linked
FD request
3. FD requests will be made in multiples of Rs.5,000 only.
4. You may have more than one FD linked to the same account. you need to give
speci c request for each FD creation and linking.
5. The linked FDs will be under the same Customer ID.
6. All FDs linked to the account will be enabled for automatic reverse sweep in
multiples of Rs.5,000 when the balance in the savings account falls below Rs.10,000.
7. FDs will be broken in LIFO (Last In First Out) basis for reverse sweep.
Kindly note that Money Multiplier Account is also updated in the Terms and
Conditions section on the web site http://www.icicibank.com.

Amarnath,
Ive been using this service since last couple of months.
Yest, there is a difference in this facility from other banks.
This facility is one way automatic. If you have excess you
can create FD above 15k and they will reverse sweep the
amount whenever your balance goes below 10k. It looks
good to me and whenever I deposit amount in the account
Ill create money multiplier FD and throughout the month
whatever payments are going from my account, they will
reverse sweep the amount from FD to savings account and
also they add interest for the amount you kept for that
duration even if it is 1rs.

preference , then only the default numbers come into
picture ?>

Hi Manish,
I think you are right. by default SBI put the sweep
account money for 1 yrs. I have an experience for
that. I had opened the account in SBI but i was not
aware about the rules and regulation of sweep
account. I deposited around 20,000 in my account
and few day later i saw them in sweep account for
1 year, then only i came to know that there is
something like sweep account.

not happen !

Some of bank Managers are really

very known of about these features
so they activate at the time of
account opening. But still there are
lots of old age managers which are
not aware of new interface of
computer software and its facilities.

Lets say that I enable the autosweep facility on my account. I then breat it and sweep
back the entire amount after 6 months. So do I get the FD interest rate for 6 months
on the auto swept amount assuming that there is no penalty?

Yes , you get the interest for any duration for which FD was there . Also note
that you dont have to do anything manually from your side ,. For you it will
appear as if you have all the money in cash , this sweep in converstion of
extra cash into FD is all by technology .

Because people have savings account in different banks not just ICICI,HDFC,SBI.
As I know, IDBI ,Indian bank also offers similar option with some different name.
Once again thanks for your article.

I have checked at hdfc website and it states that it has some service charge attached to
this sweep in facility. In that case the interest % may reduce more.

Can you give me the link you are checking, I looked at this site :
http://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/accounts/ xed_deposits/sweep_in_account/sweepin.htm
also in general this facility is not chargable , but if bank decides to charge for
it , I am not sure if we can do anything ,you have to choose or not-choose .

The hdfc link, has a statement You can avail of both, a SuperSaver
Facility as well as a Sweep-In Facility if you have linked your
deposits to a Savings Facility. It means that super saver and sweeo
in are different.
I am confused.

Are you NRI ? because Super Saver seems to be a Sweep-in
kind of facility for NRI customers from HDFC
