Why HDFC Bank Wants You To Opt For Email Statements

HDFC Bank want their customers to opt for Email Statements. But why? The bank says it is more convenient for us (customers) and it supports the environment too. Oh yeah it supports the environment but they forgot to mention one thing. It increases their "Net Profit" as they save lakhs of rupees as postage. I have registered for Email Statements earlier and de-registered within no time. You know why? I’ve to pay them Rs. 100 each time I request the statement at the bank branch. I must say that "Banks are clever".

I’ll be happy to sign up for Email Statements if they provide the statements for free at their branch when the customer requests the same. What do you say?
