Received a physical letter by HDFC today saying, transactions on my HDFC savings account will be restricted within 30 days if I don’t report to my branch the purpose of buying virtual currencies…

I called Nodal & they also have no idea on this & kept on telling me to call customer care who never pick up their phones…

These people are high on weeds or what ?? They wrote in the letter that as per RBI guideline vide DBR.No.BP.BC.104 /08.13.102/2017-18. April 6, 2018, I am not supposed to do virtual currency transactions…This was already overruled by Supreme Court in March 2020 so why the hell they are sending this letter now at home ??

And why the heck I should visit branch for this BS when we all know that transacting Virtual Currency is fully allowed from March, 2020 ??

This bank sucks big time…

See why I’m “NOT” a satisfied customer ?? laughing

People have love & hate relationships…I have hate & hate relationship with them…

I called Nodal, customer care & none of them had any idea about this letter…My branch lady told me on the phone “Sir mujhe bhi pata nhi hain aisi kisi letter ka aur mujhe bhi janna hoga yeh letter apke paas kyon aaya”…. laughing laughing

They are funny…Also what can I expect when even their Senior Management, Priority Redressal Team can’t write even a single English sentence without at least 5-6 typos…

I can’t imagine that this bank which claim themselves as the biggest bank of India & their Credit Card Senior Management Team can’t even write the words CREDIT CARD without making a spelling error…

But after I made that complaint, check in the forums how many people suddenly started getting even DCB & Infinia as LTF which HDFC never used to give for free this much easily… laughing laughing

Bhutiya bank sent me an outdated letter to scare me… imp

I messaged them on twitter & asked them why they are still sending me non-related & backdated stuffs & when they asked for my phone number, I replied, not interested in talking to your support when I already know that this is an outdated & baseless matter…

I only did a 100 rupees UPI transfer through GPay to Coinswitch in November lol…Rest of the amounts I had deposited were all from ICICI & as naturally, No such letter came from ICICI because they are not dumb like HDFC

What PMLA & what inquiry ?? I think you did not read the topic/thread properly…I am NOT the only person who is investing in cryptos in India & crypto is fully legal now (by SC) & they sent the later NOW but this letter would have only been valid when crypto was banned…This letter is not valid now as per the bank staffs themselves…

Investing in Crypto is NOT equal to Money Laundering lol because it’s approved by Supreme Court…

Hmm…I too did not visit the branch because in your case, that time the letter may still have been valid because it was banned but they are sending this letter now to me & their Nodal & Customer care told me that this letter was sent by my branch when the letter clearly came from Chennai & my branch has no idea why I got this letter…

In any company, Nodal people should know more things in detail compared to the newbie phone customer care people…But in HDFC, The nodal & their customer care people have the same level of knowledge lol on how to misguide customers on everything…
