what to do if atm card is lost

The critical action is to immediately block your lost ATM card to secure your account. You should:

• Block the card immediately using your bank's mobile app, net banking portal, or 24/7 customer care helpline.
• Report the loss to your bank branch and submit a request for a replacement ATM card.
• File a police complaint (FIR) for documentation purposes, as this is often required by the bank for processing a new card.
