- Fixed deposit maturity credit failed, share account details
- Bonus interest offer ends today, activate with your debit card
How to verify it yourself
Your real EMI schedule is available in the loan agreement and in the bank's own app, so compare any demand with it. Pay EMIs only through the bank's official payment page or at the branch, not to a new UPI ID mentioned by a caller. A bank will not ask for a card PIN to change a nominee. Take a breath, hang up and open your own banking channel to see whether anything is actually pending.
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.
