TestimonialI had contacted Germanymantra with a query regarding blocked account on 18th May. I am very happy to tell you that the response and follow up to my mail was very fast and effective. Mr. Sagar Bathla, Relationship Manager at Deutsche Bank AG called me up and took up my case in very little time. He helped me at every stage and cleared all my doubts. I was very surprised that I received my blocked account number within 7 days of submitting the application forms. I am very grateful for your response to my mail.

Hello Sir,
I would like to express my appreciation for the remarkable services rendered by Mr. Sagar Bhatla in opening my blocked account as well as Indian account at Deutsche Bank as per his commitment date.
Ever since i got his contact from germanymantra he has been ready to help 24/7. The time taken for response is very quick. Even at odd times he was always ready yot help. He has not only helped me with the account creation but has also helped me with all my other banking queries throughout the process and made it look smooth. If not for Mr Sagar i would have never opened an Indian account at Deutsche Bank India. He clearly explained me the advantages I would have with the account. He did that with a lot of patience. I'm particularly impressed with his honesty, sincerity, calmness and guidance throughout the process.
I'm so grateful to GermanyMantra for assigning Mr. Sagar as my banking representative.
Also I am totally impressed by the services at offer for Deutsche Bank India Customers. I would suggest more & more prospective students wishing to study abroad to seek & avail the services of Deutsche Bank India.
Looking forward to banking with Deutsche Bank.

- The above mentioned office in Hamburg arranges the opening of an account with the office of the future residence and informs you directly, without intervention of the General Consulate, by post and parallel by email about the account number, BLZ and IBAN of the opened account. It takes 2-3 weeks to open account.
- finally you transfer the necessary amount + EUR 50 towards bank charges to the account and prove this to the German Embassy/Consulate in your home country (India). DB will also inform embassy about the same.
Is this money sufficient for entire duration of study?No!! On time of arrival (in addition to rental, registration and living costs) you also need to pay tuition fees and semester contribution to enrol at the University. (This note is valid for those students who haven't got an exemption from tuition fees). The costs are approx. 700 € and therewith higher than your monthly limit of withdrawal. Corresponding to this blocked account you may not be able to pay these semester fees. So please remember to bring enough money in addition to be able to pay for these costs. Or cover your account with a higher amount corresponding to the requested additional fees. Also please remember that you will have to pay these additional costs every new semester and therefore need to have enough money on your account.
