HDFC Bank, which is India's biggest bank in terms of m-cap, is embroiled in controversy over intermittent outages and technical glitches in its mobile app and net banking platform, which has time and again caused inconvenience to its customers.
The issue became so big that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had to step in and direct the bank to stop all launches of digital business generating activities planned under its program Digital 2.0 on December 3, 2020.

The RBI said the bank's board should examine lapses and fix accountability, and asked them to come up with a solution to fix the problem. The apex bank also appointed an IT firm for carrying out a special audit of the entire IT infrastructure of HDFC Bank.
Before the RBI tightened the noose around the leading bank, HDFC Bank was working on many new technologies like robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), Blockchain and the use of cloud technology to take banking to the next level.
HDFC Bank was also barred from issuing any new credit cards on December 12 after a series of technical glitches.
