Due to technology-related lapses in HDFC Bank, the Reserve Bank in December 2020, taking action against the lender, prohibited the issuance of new credit cards by it. HDFC Bank was the market leader in this area. Along with this, the bank was also banned from bringing any kind of new digital offering.

According to the news, Jagdishan said that following the advice and guidelines of the Reserve Bank, we have set an example in terms of our action on technology. By this time we have completed a major part. About 85 percent of what was expected of us has been completed. He said that the ball is now in the court of the regulator. As they see fit, as they see that we are on the right track, I am sure that at some point, they will lift the bar.
