How is Average Quarterly Balance (AQB) calculated

Average Quarterly Balance (AQB) is the average balance to be maintained in the account over a period of a quarter.

It is the sum of the end of day balance in the account for each day in the quarter, divided by the number of days in the quarter.

Example:

Say if your account is subjected to maintain an AQB of Rs. 10,000 /-, that means the

EOD balance x Number of Days

AQB = 10,000 = ————————————————

Number of days in Quarter

Let’s assume the number of days in Quarter are 90 (30days for 3 months),

Also, assume you maintained same EOD balance through out the quarter, thus your AQB becomes

AQB = 10,000 = EOD balance constantly maintained through out the quarter

so, you at least need to maintain a minimum of Rs. 10,000 at any time during the quarter.

Say, withdraw all of your money and left your account in zero balance for 10 days, you can still avoid your AQB charges by maintaining balance that is worth of 10,000 x 10 = 1,00,000 for at least one day within the quarter.
