Frequently Asked Questions
Are bank customer care 1800 numbers completely toll-free from mobile phones?
Yes. In India, numbers starting with 1800 (such as 1800 1234 or 1800 202 6161) are 100% toll-free and free of charge when dialed from any Indian mobile network (Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL) or landline. However, numbers starting with 1860 are local/std call rate chargeable.
What is the fastest way to block a lost or stolen ATM debit card?
The fastest method is sending an emergency SMS from your registered mobile number (e.g. for SBI send "BLOCK <last 4 digits>" to 567676, for HDFC call 1800 202 6161). Most banks instantly deactivate the card within 60 seconds of receiving the command.
What should I do if the bank customer care does not resolve my complaint?
Follow the 4-tier RBI escalation matrix: First contact the Branch Manager. If unresolved after 7 days, escalate to the Regional Nodal Officer. If still unresolved after 21 days, contact the bank Principal Nodal Officer (PNO). If the bank fails to resolve it within 30 days, lodge a free complaint with the RBI Banking Ombudsman at cms.rbi.org.in or call 14448.
