I created the future first account in nagpur ramdaspeth branch. I liked employee of this branch. My college was not in the list, so they select nagpur University. I just needed an icard
I went to BYRAMJI TOWN BRANCH , employee said your college is not eligible so you can't open FUTURE FIRST account...so I opened pratham account...so what should I do now? If I go there now, will they convert my PRATHAM account to FUTURE FIRST account?

Yeah, I will say go to ramdaspeth branch then, the employees there are very humble. Even they are ready to visit your home for your convenience to open bank account
 
There's a lot of confusion around this Bank Account. Initially when you go to open this Account, IDFC's employees will mostly likely tell you that there is no such account and will give you 2 options - 1 with MAB of 10K and other with MAB of 25K. But if you keep pestering them, they will give you the option of Lifetime FREE account.

Also, if IDFC employee pushed your for funding this account, just do it and immediately take it out. There will be No Charges since it is a Lifetime FREE Account
I converted my MAB 10K to IDFC Select by depositing Rs. 3 Lakhs for 10 days. And not there is no minimum required balance now. Also got a LTF First Select Credit Card along with it. There is an option of enable Virtual RuPay credit card on this card (need to select this option when activating it, and I'm using this for all UPI merchant transactions (wherever accepted).
