You are not registered for NetBanking

Reason:

  1. The Customer ID you are using to Login is not registered for NetBanking or you may be using the Cust ID of the other account holder with you who is not registered for NetBanking
  2. As an Authorized signatory (AUS) : You may not have Registered your AUS Cust ID for NetBanking or You may by using the Cust ID of the company, which does not get an IPIN

Solution:

Please download an e-Age Banking form from the website (or collect it from the Branch) and submit the same to the Branch after completion. The IPIN will be sent to you. Or if you have a TIN call up PhoneBanking  and request.

The password you have entered is Invalid, please try again.

Reason:

You may be using the wrong case while entering the IPIN (hdfcbank all in lower case is different from HDFCBANK all in upper case or HdFcBaNk in a combination of upper and lower case).

Enter the IPIN exactly the way it appears on the pin mailer sent with the Caps lock on or off as the case may warrant.

In case you are an Authorized signatory (AUS) and you also have an individual/personal account you may be using the wrong IPIN combination (Personal account Cust ID and IPIN of AUS or AUS Cust ID with Personal account IPIN).

Solution:

Please enter the correct combination of Cust ID and the IPIN (password) issued to you.

Solution:

In such cases if you remember the IPIN please send an Email us at www.hdfcbank.com/services with subject ”Enable ID”and mention your Customer ID in the message. The ID will be enabled within 24 hrs and you can try logging in with the same IPIN.

A new IPIN will be sent to you or you can call the PhoneBanking (If you have a valid TIN ) and ask for regeneration, the new IPIN will be mailed to you. Or call PhoneBanking (if you have TIN) and request for regeneration.
