Start on their website : Go to netbanking.hdfcbank and click “Register Now” under “First Time User” Type in your Customer ID (dig around in your welcome kit, passbook, or any bank statement).
-
Make sure your phone’s connected: Double check that your Indian phone number is already registered with HDFC they need this to send you those verification codes.
-
Put in the code: Enter whatever One Time Password they text to your phone.
-
Enter your card details: Choose the debit card option and punch in your card number, ATM PIN, and expiry date.
-
Make your password: Create your login password (go with 8-20 characters mixing letters, numbers, and symbols) and confirm you got it right.

You’re all set: Use your Customer ID and that new password to log into NetBanking immediately.
Here’s the real deal:
- This works like magic for folks living in India with an Indian phone that’s already hooked up to HDFC no ATM runs or branch visits needed! Phone not connected yet.
- Just swing by any ATM to fix that first (pop in your card → Services → Mobile Number Update → Enter your number → Confirm with the code they send). Can’t find your Customer ID.
- Just give their phone banking a call or check through the app once your phone’s updated.
- Living abroad or got a foreign number. Take a peek at HDFC’s NRI section on their website.
- Once everything’s sorted, you’ll land on your HDFC NetBanking homepage and can handle all your banking stuff online whenever the mood strikes!
