Lines used in fake Karur Vysya Bank calls and apps

Fake KVB DLite app delivered as a link
Caller says your Karur Vysya Bank deposit receipt needs re-verification and asks for an OTP
Agent offers an agricultural loan and asks for a processing amount
Caller asks you to read the code from a message to stop a 'wrong transaction'

How to verify it yourself

Open KVB DLite from the official store and look at notices in it, or type the Karur Vysya Bank website address by hand. A deposit receipt is checked at the branch where you opened the deposit. Replacement cards are posted by the bank without a courier fee collected through a link. A wrong transaction is raised using the number printed on your card or passbook. Never read a code from a message aloud to a caller.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from Karur Vysya Bank. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Karur Vysya Bank through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Karur Vysya Bank ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
