Yes, u will have the card for sure and it will be the instant card which will be sent to ur email id. No income document is required if u have bank ac with hdfc, no kyc, no home visiting or vkyc. All it can be done via a simply put all the details they ask u like ur registered mobile no and pan details, later u will be asked for the job details and address details for the card delivery so just fill it. Nothing to worry about.

Hard enquiry will be there whether it is pre approved or not

Hard enquiry for sure. They are sending me mail everyday regarding pre approved second credit card. Upon clicking the link it asked for mobile number confirmation through OTP. Once u enter OTP they will do hard enquiry. The idiots did hard enquiry twice for me. I thought since I have not entered PAN number they will just show cards. I checked twice 4-5 days apart and I found two enquiries in CIBIL just for checking the available cards.

Remember- Every time u enter OTP there will be a hard enquiry. Dumb people.

1. pre-approved and instant card will be generated?

Depends on your Cibil score

2. Will it Hit CIBIL (Hard/Soft inquiry)?

100%

3. Will it as Income Documents?

If the Cibil is less, they will ask for Income documents  

It’s not easy to predict HDFC, they can even send third party guy for verification even after eKYC.

UPDATE:

I contacted the Branch 

They confirmed that its 

1) pre-approved and I will get the card in 5-7 days

2) without CIBIL hit

3) Amazon Gift Card will be issued as mentioned in the email

4) no documents or verification will be done

He also guided me to apply through https://apply.hdfcbank.com/vivid/CreditCard_New... with his employee code

Card was  showing Business MoneyBack Card (fee was showing 500 Joining and annual but employee told me as I got email for lifetime free it will be free without any condition)

He confirmed that I will get Amazon voucher even if I entered his code

As per the experience (mostly not good) with the marketing teams of various Banks, (false promises, misguidance, incorrect information)

Don't know what will happen.

If you use employee code you won't get an Amazon voucher

In terms and conditions it clearly mentioned you won't get an Amazon voucher for employee assistance

According to your offer screenshot, you'll get the card instantly generated without income docs. But yes, a Cibil enquiry will be done. If no Cibil, then you'll get the card but if negative Cibil (eg. below 700), it will be not be approved. 
If you've a good Cibil (eg. 750+) then I would recommend to go for a fresh application and dont accept this 100K offer. With fresh application, you'll get much better limit.

UPDATE 1:


Non-reliable and non-trustworthy employees provided false, incorrect and misleading information. Forced me to apply through different link with his code (suitable for his own benefits) resulted in:

1) for pre-approved card HDFC third party verification person made sudden and surprised visit and asked me to click photo of Address and Office (when I told him it is a pre-approved card, he made a heated argument with me, talked arrogantly and left without verification)

2) CIBIL hit email came

I was being offered Millenia Lifetime Free through normal process but he convinced me to apply through this process saying its a pre-approved card without any Hussle but finally giving more problems for a useless and low grade Business MoneyBack card. I thought it will be easily got delivered without CIBIL hit and Verification as the HDFC employee mentioned.   

Anyone can provide nodal officer and PNO or senior officials email id?
