HDFC Bank — otp not receiving on email id

I am frequently travelling abroad and use international sim cards for their convenience and economical cost. Quite frequently i need to make online or debit card transactions, but the otp is always being sent to my registered phone number only, and not to my registered email id. This is so inconvenient and does not make sense. What if i lose my indian sim? Does it mean that i will have zero access to my own bank account.
Hdfc needs to send otp's on email ids also and have alternate options available.

Hi Nadia,
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately I cannot progress further as HDFC bank has still not provided me with the Complaint reference number which I had raise on their website on 26th April. Because of this I am unable to proceed as guided by you.
Secondly, please advise if the request letter must be printed in hard copy, signed and scanned.
What email ID do I send this request letter to?
HDFC bank's customer care is not responding to any email IDs.

The link that you have sent above does not mention any hard copy letter to be sent.

Awaiting your prompt response.
Thanks,
Aditya
