Request a replacement.

If card is already LTF, replacement will also be LTF.


Also how did you get DCB Metal LTF?

You can ask the bank to block and replace the card with different details via email or call. Tell them the details might be compromised. The new card will stay LTF, no need to worry about it.

While requesting a replacement, ask them specifically to replace with a different number and CVV as HDFC can issue a card with same details (happened with @TechnoFino). Record this call, so that incase they send an identical card, you can raise a complain.

I got this card back in 2023 when my Imperia HDFC RM offered me a upgrade from Regalia Gold to DCB Metal(Paid) due to both good spends on Regalia aswell as I took her Tata AIA insurance policy.

As this metal card initially had annual fees so I did not activate the card knowingly then within last few days from 1 month activation period,she called me to activate it but I told her to make it lifetime free or else forget about it then she budged to my love and affection towards her 😏 # Mutual Love and Respect 😌

Thanks for the necessary cautions and steps, I will go ahead with it.

Call the helpline and connect with Fraud txn option. Tell them your card was tried for fraud txn, and ask them to replace. it would be ltf only and you would get card with a new number

Pls change the title to "My HDFC card details Compromised"...

Also, if you check RBI annual report, 99.99% cases the details are compromised because of our mistake i.e. using CC at unauthorized sites etc otherwise banking system is completely secure and in rest 0.01% case, bank compensate the customer

Request a replacement and make sure to select "card lost or stolen" as the reason.
They will issue a new card with a different number and CVV. If your card is LTF (Lifetime Free), the replacement will also remain LTF.

Block your card immediately and then ask for replacement.

BTW how did you get your details leaked?
