HDFC Bank Customer Care's response Dear Customer,
Please note as per the recent amendments, the Finance Bill have widened the scope of banking and financial services which are eligible for the levy of Good and Services Tax (GST ). As per the current Finance Bill, all fees and transaction charges, levied in your card account, will attract a rate of GST @ 18%. In terms of these guidelines provided by the Finance Bill, the Bank will be levying the GST accordingly and thereby wish to reiterate that GST component once charged will not be reversed. The above the details are also updated in the HDFC Bank Website " www.hdfcbank.com ", please refer Fees and Charges section in the website or below Schedule of charges MITC link for details on GST. http://www.hdfcbank.com/assets/pdf/cc_common_MITC.pdf

Let me clear you that the I have not requested for a new debit card. One fine evening I have been called from HDFC Bank that they are re-issuing a new debit card and blocking the current debit card due to security reasons and THAT DO NOT CHARGE ANYTHING AS IT IS BANK INITIATIVE.
Then why have you deducted amount for the new debit card issuance when it was HDFC Bank initiative not mine, so it proves that it's a mistake from your side.
Now coming to your policies and all, the amount you have deducted is my hard earned money, and that too you didn't informed me while re-issuing the new debit card, else I would not have agreed for that.
Once you will say it is of no charge, then you will charge and then will not refund money, what kind of professionalism is this ?
Whether you deducted the amount for GST or anywhere else, that's none of my business, what I only know that you have deducted my money mistakenly, so if the amount need to bear that would be from your (HDFC Bank) end, why shall I bear the amount for your mistake. I NEED JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS.
It is illegitimate that you are deducting amount from customer's account having said them earlier that the services are chargeless. It clearly proves communication gap among your internal teams and department, but I have wondered to see that you forcefully want customer to bear the cost for your own mistake.
Is this the new policy defined by HDFC to retain their customers by playing double sided role, saying chargeless service but after giving the service they are charging for that.
Where is this policy written ?
