There are numerous ways to keep a tab on the balance in your bank account. You can check it online, use the mobile app, visit the ATM or visit your branch. However there is simpler way to get your balance or mini-statement using your mobile phone. Called missed call banking, you need to give a missed call from your registered mobile number to your bank’s toll free number provided for the purpose. Depending on the bank you could do the following transactions using this facility – balance enquiry, mini statement, cheque book request, account statement request, etc. To conduct a transaction you simply call the respective toll free number. Your call will get disconnected after a few rings and you will get a SMS with the required details.
I have compiled a list of the toll free numbers of the banks in India which offer this facility.

The finer details
Your mobile number must be registered with your bank for mobile banking services. In my previous blog I have listed the steps you need to take in order to register your mobile number with various banks. Some banks limit the number of times that you can avail this facility in a day.
Hi, this service is free or charged by the bank? Thanks
Hi. This service is provided free of charge by the banks. However most banks have a daily limit on the number of transactions that you can perform this way.
