If you have lost your ATM card in India, you should take immediate steps to block it to prevent unauthorized access to your bank account. Here's how you can do it:
Contact your bank: Call your bank's customer care helpline or visit the nearest branch as soon as possible. Provide them with your account details and inform them about the lost ATM card. They will help you block the card to prevent any unauthorized transactions.
Use mobile banking app: If you have access to your bank's mobile banking app, you can usually find an option to block your lost ATM card within the app. Log in to the app, go to the card settings, and look for the option to block the card.
Use internet banking: If you have internet banking facility, you can log in to your bank's internet banking portal and follow the steps to block your lost ATM card. Look for the card management section in the portal.
Use SMS or USSD: Some banks provide the option to block the ATM card through SMS or USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data). Check your bank's website or contact customer care for the relevant instructions.
Lodge a complaint with the bank: While blocking your lost ATM card, it's also essential to file a formal complaint with the bank regarding the loss. This will serve as a record and can be helpful if any unauthorized transactions occur later.
Remember to keep your bank account number, card number, and any other account-related information handy when you contact the bank to block your lost ATM card. Acting quickly and following these steps will help ensure the safety of your funds and account.
