Hi guys, Recently I opened a new saving account in HDFC, just for online shopping offer (i.e flipkartl/amazon for 10% off). I use this account when there is some offer is going on. I keep limited amount like ₹20k . Yesterday I saw in statement that they have deducted ₹885 for Visa platinum debit cum ATM card. This is a huge amount, and want to change my platinum card to some cheap card. Can anybody tell me how to change debit card types ???? Also I have checked that there is a cheapest HDFC card is Rupay based which charges ₹150-200 annually. Can I use this RUPAY HDFC card for Flipkart/amazon offer in future or they need only Master/Visa types ? Plz clear my all doubts.

Either upgrade to saving max account or change your card to basic card

Use the same card till next year as fees is paid already and non refundable.
After 11 months block this card and apply for new card from net banking.
Do not forget to place reminder for next year.

Hey @kool from where u opened this account mean to say from some bank employee or online. If you opened this account through hdfc employee then u ask that employee to refund those charges, he can easily refund u r charges. I too have hdfc bank account for same reason as u and u r surprised to know that i never paid any charges even sms alerts charges. For your ready reference here a screen shot of the same. https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/586278/original/IMG_20190922_014310.jpg?1569096834

Already keeping 20k better upgrade to max account by keeping 25k. Better credit card upgrade chances too.

Do they debit the charges at the end of the financial year or at the start? Because i opened an account last year in June and wasn’t charged anything for an entire year but in Jun 2019 I’ve been charged 590. Are these charges for the previous year or for the year ahead?

for the year ahead

Hdfc is the worst in this regard. Unlike sbi and ICICI, you cannot upgrade account type online. Have to visit branch.

Use for a year then block the card. But you can’t use NetBanking without debit card.

How to contact HDFC CC for fee query? On calling customer care they say only emergency services due to Covid.

Call concierge helpline. Ask a silly question about concierge service, then quickly ask your query !
