u have to get broker's advice http://www.freewebs.com/investyourmoney

Coming to the questions one by one : 1) ICICI saving account can be linked with ICICI direct and also with Sharekhan(www.sharekhan.com) by which the fund transfer and withdrawal won't be a major issue.2) Sharekhan do allow trading or investment on mutual funnds and also NFO. Applying for a mutual fund through Sharekhan is open to everybody, regardless of whether you are a Sharekhan customer.3) Account opening differ from broker to broker and also depending on the schemes availing.(anything between 500-1000)Check with brokers, can contact them on customer service no. and also can email across, which is available at website.
