Hi Guys,

I was checking bank statement today and found that hdfc has deducted 590 Annual Debit Card charges on Jan 17. This the first time this charge has been deducted since 2005 that I have had this account. This is a regular saving account with 10k min balance. The debit card is blue Easy Shop.

Any way to reverse this charge or reduce this fee? 590 is a lot of money

It must be getting deducted earlier also. Reversal not possible. 500 plus GST is minimum for any Visa/MC HDFC DC if you have regular savings account. Get Rupay DC if you want lower charges.

It has never been deducted before. I’m 100% sure about this.

Where all I will face issues if I cancel my debit card?

I hope UPI/NEFT and other stuffs work. I don’t want DC for cash/online txns.

I am not sure but debit card is must to setup/change upi pin. Maybe some banks allow upi on disabled debit card accounts but not sure. @abhishek012 may know more. NEFT/IMPS/RTGS are independent of debit card.

had opened account in July 2019 and was charged 590 the RM that time had told will get it reversed but even after visiting him at the branch he flatly refused to reverse it pensive

so is the reversal possible now rolleyes

July is long gone. I’m doubtful they will reverse but you can tell them that your RM had confirmed he will get it reversed so you forgot after his commitment. You recently checked Bank statement and found no reversal that’s why you are calling…

There is no loss in trying…

I get lifetime free platinum card mentioned in email itself in 2018. AMB 10000. They charged 750+gst in 2019 (after a year) I raised request for reversal. They reversed 750 and not gst. I raised the gst reversal request again. I got call from my branch and they reversed gst too. They were confused with sms alert charged of 17. So they also reversed sms alert charges grinning.

I was charged 590 when I opened account last year which was reversed after visiting branch.

Which is the most basic Master/Visa debit card available in HDFC as I don’t want to haggle every year with executive over debit card fees.
