Additionally, on May 22nd, HDFC Bank conducted maintenance that affected card services. Customers were notified that debit, prepaid, and credit card services, including ATM withdrawals, in-store purchases, online transactions, and prepaid card reloads, would be unavailable from 12:30 AM to 2:30 AM IST. For continuous banking needs, customers can register for HDFC Bank ChatBanking via WhatsApp by saving the number 7070022222 and sending "Hi" or "Register" from their registered mobile number, using their customer ID and a one-time password sent to their phone for limited banking access.

Scheduled maintenance activities, like the one announced by HDFC Bank, are vital for maintaining the integrity and performance of digital banking systems.
