Card PIN activation is another crucial step before using your credit card for the first time. Most banks and card issuers will send a new credit card that is currently operational. But you can't start using your credit card until you create the PIN. Every bank has their own Card activation process. 

There used to be a separate card activation step back when banks still generated credit card PINs. Cards are now being sent in an active state thanks to the introduction of green PINs and self-PIN generation.
If you are an HDFC Bank Credit Card Customer, once you receive the new credit card, try any one of the below-mentioned methods to generate the PIN. Once you use your credit card for the first time, your card gets activated automatically.
