Tagging the Home Ministry and Jammu and Kashmir Police on X (formerly Twitter), the user by the name of Imtiyaz Hussain has tweeted, "Applied for personal loan in @HDFC_Bank. Was shocked to know that they don’t provide loans to policemen as a policy. It is so hurtful and insulting to know. The men in Khaki who toil day and night in service of our great nation being treated like this should be unacceptable to every citizen.



HDFC Bank has however denied the claims made by the cop and responded saying that there is no such policy by the bank. Infact, the bank said that there are several policement who are the bank's customers.


"Hi Imtiyaz, we would like to clarify that there is no such policy. Many policemen across the country are our esteemed customers, having availed loans from us. We are sorry about your experience and will be in touch with you regarding the issue faced. -Team HDFC Bank".



Hussain twitter thread opened a lot of discussion on the topic with comments pouring from several sections.




Meanwhile, some twitter users have also tagged the RBI to look into the matter.
