HDFC Bank Complaints & Reviews

I visited the HDFC bank branch in Manipal on August 23rd 2021. I informed I wished to open a current account and was carrying all the necessary documents as per their website. This is when they informed that I had to give a cheque from another bank account in order to avail their account opening service.

To this I disclosed that I did not hold a cheque book facility from my primary banker though I do have a SBCHQ-CSA because it was a paid facility and I never required a cheque book so far. To this they replied that I could have my father or husband to offer their cheque book so that I could avail an account with HDFC.

To me, this option I was surely not interested because I am a tax paying, salaried women with financial independency and security who could maintain their minimum balance required which is max upto Rs.25000/-

After my disappointing experience with the HDFC Manipal Branch I sent an e-mail dated August 30, 2021 to their customer service. In response to that I received a call from a lady (name withheld) and told that the cheque requirement was mandatory to fulfill my KYC requirement. She also added she waited an entire day to respond to me since she wanted clearance and confirmation of the cheque requirement from her superiors as well. She was more interested to know who my employer was than resolving my issue. She concluded the discussion by saying that someone superior (informed a name, but withheld) to her would contact me which never happened.

In a time when PMJDY is promising account opening facility to all eligible adults in India, I have faced this bitter experience from a leading Private Bank in India. I hope to get my request resolved.

I having account in HDFC Bank in branch of sector 11 rohini in Delhi.
On 15 Aug 21, around 18:10 hrs, somebody fraudulently transfer Rs. 14, 800 from account without my consent. I got message form bank about that which was later disappeared from my phone.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for writing to us.
We take this opportunity to update you on your complaint regarding transactions of Rs. 14800.00 and Rs. 15.00 dated 15/08/2021 at M/s RAZ*GetMega on your Debit Card number ending with XX1182.
We would like to inform that the said transactions are duly authorized E-commerce transactions done using the above mentioned Debit Card. As you must be aware, as per regulatory guidelines, all online card transactions are to be carried through an additional authentication/validation.
This second level/additional password is the Verified through ATM PIN/Secured Password, and the same is privy only to the customer and an E-commerce transaction cannot take place without a possible compromise of the password by the customer and except the customer nobody else can access the Debit Card details and incur the transactions without the knowledge of the customer. Further the said PIN/Password needs to be kept discreetly by customer without the same being shared with any person or persons as it may result in the Debit Card being misused.
Following are the ways through which the password can be compromised:
I. Replying to a unsolicited mail and thus sharing personal account credential details (Phishing Mail).
II. By Compromising the Debit Card details & password by logging through a Cyber Cafe or a Shared Computer wherein malicious Software could capture the Password and passing the same to the third party.
III.The PC being infected by a virus (called as Trojan) which can capture a Password and the same being passed on to a Third Party.
IV.Password being compromised by the “Man in the middle attack " wherein a deviant Software hijacks the Computer and captures all information entered so as to use the same with a malicious intent.
Based on above information provided, the bank will not be able to bear the liability for disputed transactions.
Looking forward to your continued patronage & support.

Now bank is saying that he is not liable for that. Straight way refusing that,
From above mail bank committed that transaction was done by debit card.

“ We take this opportunity to update you on your complaint regarding transactions of Rs. 14800.00 and Rs. 15.00 dated 15/08/2021 at M/s RAZ*GetMega on your Debit Card number ending with XX1182.
We would like to inform that the said transactions are duly authorized E-commerce transactions done using the above mentioned Debit Card. As you must be aware, as per regulatory guidelines, all online card transactions are to be carried through an additional authentication/validation. “
First of all transaction was not done by me of 14, 800 and was not duly authorized by me. Without my consent how bank did it. They sent any OTP for that to me. Which was not mentioned there.
As per RBI guidelines” IF you do so then you will not have to bear any kind of loss. RBI has also said that the fraudulently withdrawn amount from the customer's account will be returned to his bank account within 10 days on informing the bank within the stipulated time”
So request you to take up with bank and get my money back to my account. Even transaction was hold by Cyber cell as informed to bank but they didn’t took action on it.
Now only saying that it is not liable.
Without my consent, how money took from my account.

Sir/Madam,
I have UPI payment is done on 30.08.2021 by online game UPI id. so how to return my money

I did not receive the parcel related to new current account opened in hdfc bank, but received text message parcel delivered from bluedart, from Chennai, track no.[protected], pls help, asap

I am trying to beneficiary but due to not able to find IFSC code, I am unable to add beneficiary.

Trying to add - IFSC - HDFC0000054, HDFC0000088

The hdfc bank has put a hold on my funds of rupees 562.87 could you please refund . I am maintaining my account regularly!

In the month of june we applied for the incorporation of our company. During the process we selected the HDFC as a bank to open current account for the business process. In last three months we never received any email or phone call from HDFC.
First our company is incorporated in Himachal, but HDFC opened our account in Mumbai. Means not even possible to contact anyone.
Thereafter local branch guided us that first put some funds and then we will transfer this account. We already added 1 lakh in this account. Still its not operative. Nor we have any kind of access to this account. No ATM, no cheque book, No pass book and no internet banking.
All the complaint numbers which HDFC show at website, are just with inbuilt functions, no one is going to take your problem.
In the month of August we needed to add this account with RAZORPAY to accept payments for business purpose. But since we dont have even Cheque book, our account with RAZORPAY is not activated.
Since in RAZORPAY you can make only one id with all the documents, now we are facing challenge to receive the payments.
Now we demand HDFC that either, fix it asap. Or We wont our funds back and compensation for all this inconvenience. Its just unprofessional way of dealing to customers. I think we did mistake by selecting the HDFC bank as bank for our business transactions.
