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.
