No OTP sharing needed to defer EMIs: Do not fall for this cyber fraud

New Delhi, Apr 06: With several banks giving customers to opt for a moratorium on their EMIs, a new cyber fraud has come to light.

In the wake of this cyber fraud, State Bank of India has issued a warning to its customers alerting them of the same. The bank said that customers are getting calls asking them to share their OTP in order to postpone their EMIs.

EMI deferment does not require OTP sharing. Do not share your OTP, the SBI also said. The bank further said that the only way to beat cybercriminals is to be alert and aware.
