I already have a DCB add on with the same card number as primary card. Now if I want to get an add on with different card number:
1. Do I have to close the existing add on and re-apply for a new add-on
2. Or the customer service team can generate/transfer a new add on card with the new number
3. If I go ahead with closing the add-on, is there a cooling period till when I cannot apply for a new add-on for the same person for the same card variants

Yes

Basically they close old addon and get new addon your behalf

3. If I go ahead with closing the add-on, is there a cooling period till when I cannot apply for a new add-on for the same person for the same card variants

No cooling period

Very perthitic experience for ADD On card, twice I have sent form and documents to their Chennai office and both time they rejected on Signature mismatch ground. Then I was suggested by RM to go through branch and filled the form again, and once again they rejected on my application.

Closed the old add on, applied a new add on the next day, got the new add on card with the same number delivered today 😓😓

Is it DCB card?

Closed the old add on, applied a new add on the next day, got the new add on card with the same number delivered today 😓😓

So they are still issuing DCB add on cards with the same card number as that of the primary card ?

Haven't heard this from anyone recently. Try contacting customer support and request them to issue addon with different number

Previously there was a link in netbanking to apply add-on card if the other member is already a customer, now I don't find it. Is it removed?

Let me understand this, if primary or the future addon applicant don't have HDFC savings accounts, we can apply for add-on only by filling a physical form and sending through courier? And no guarantees they will send OTPs to the addon holder number as well?
