  5. I recently lost my icici debit card, I want a new card, however I am temporarily not residing on my registered mailing address. What can be done in this situation? Will I get a new card by visiting the Home branch or is there an option getting it on the nearest branch?

    • You can receive your new debit card on your registered post address. So before apply for a new card simply contact to your bank branch and give them your new address valid id proof and a written letter request. Then they will send the card on your new address..
