New Delhi: Debit cards are payment cards that let users take money out of their bank accounts to use for purchases. These cards, which are connected to the user's bank account, offer a practical replacement for carrying cash. Debit cards also provide fraud detention and PIN-based security safeguards against unauthorised transactions.

The possibility of the debit card being lost or stolen does exist occasionally. One must notify the bank in these situations so they can disable the card. By calling the bank's hotline number, this can be accomplished. You can utilise net banking or SMS service to deactivate a State Bank of India (SBI) card that has been lost or stolen. ()
