Legal basis
Laws and rules that support this complaint
These frameworks give your complaint weight. They support the route and the request — they are not a reason to make exaggerated threats.
RBI Ombudsman is the outside referee
Banking and lending complaints should first go through the regulated entity. The RBI route becomes relevant only after that written complaint and the required waiting window.
Read RBI guidanceTRAI unsolicited commercial communication route
If the calls or SMS are unsolicited commercial communications, you can also use your telecom provider’s TRAI complaint process. It helps with the channel, but it does not replace the company grievance path.
Read TRAI guidanceConsent withdrawal and suppression request
Where the outreach depends on consent, you can withdraw that consent and ask for suppression or deletion in line with the applicable legal framework.

What people are really asking
Common questions about HDFC Bank calls
HDFC Bank keeps calling after DND or opt-out
That usually means the outreach did not stop at the company or partner-system level. A formal grievance trail is cleaner than repeating verbal opt-outs.
HDFC Bank loan or card sales calls are coming from new numbers or AI dialers
Rotating caller IDs are exactly why blocking is not enough. The complaint needs to ask for suppression across internal and partner channels, not just one caller.
You want to know when the RBI ombudsman becomes relevant
