What are the different ways to block my PNB credit card (customer care, mobile app, online banking, SMS, branch visit)? Is there an emergency helpline number to block my credit card immediately? Can I temporarily block my PNB credit card and unblock it later? How long does it take for PNB to process a credit card blocking request? Will I receive a confirmation message after blocking my credit card? What should I do after blocking my PNB credit card? Can I request a replacement card after blocking my old one? Is there a fee for blocking and replacing a lost or stolen PNB credit card? How can I check if my credit card has been successfully blocked? Will blocking my credit card affect my credit score?

Usually yes, if you block your PNB credit card, automatic payments and EMIs linked directly to that specific credit card number will also stop.
But you should also Notify the merchants For any critical recurring payments (like utility bills, subscriptions, loan EMIs, etc.) that were set up on your blocked PNB credit card, you must contact the respective merchant or biller directly and provide a new payment method.

If you need to block your PNB credit card, you can do it quickly through a few methods. Call 1800 180 2345 or 0120 4616200 anytime and they’ll block it after verifying your details. You can also send an SMS with HOT followed by a space and the last 4 digits of your card to 5607040 from your registered mobile number. Alternatively, use PNB net banking or the PNB One app to block it instantly. Visiting a branch is also possible but not ideal in an emergency.
Blocking is usually instant and you’ll get a confirmation via SMS or email. PNB does not allow temporary blocks, so once it’s blocked, it stays that way. After blocking, you can request a replacement card through customer care or at a branch. It usually arrives within 7 to 10 working days and may come with a small replacement fee. Blocking your card won’t affect your credit score, but if it’s lost or stolen, act fast and confirm the block to avoid any misuse.
