Hi,
First I tried to get Rupay Platinum debit card with (sb 192) BOB B3 Plus Silver Account(zero balance) but no option to apply in bobworld app. Also visite bank and they could not apply from there side(error ) and then asked me to block existing VISA Classic card and apply for Rupay Platinum debit from the app later. Anybody got this card with this digital B3 Plus savings account ?

Also tried converting/migrating BOB B3 Plus Silver Account (sb 192) to BOB Super savings account SB 117. But bank personnel are telling cannot covert BOB B3 Plus Silver Account to any other account(not even BOB Lite),it is giving error in system, since it was created online (VKYC).
Pathetic that i want to migrate from zero balance account to 20K QAB account but bank cannot do the same .
Even if i close existing account and create new account , the customer id will be same right . Will it allow to create after closing existing account ?

Any idea how to migrate to BOB Super Savings account ?

If you want Rupay "platinum" debit card, there is option in BoB world app to apply for a virtual debit card - that card is rupay platinum debit card.

I am not very sure, but they should be able to open a new account - mapped with same cust id. You can then apply debit card for that new account. I have two accounts mapped with single cust id - BoB Super savings and Baroda HL linked savings and I've got multiple debit cards from these two accounts. Some things are not in their hand, it's how the banking processes are set. If system is showing error, they won't be able to do.

@urboss Thanks for reply. In BOB world app it is only showing VISA Classic Virtual option for virtual card application (no other options) , as per screenshot.
If i try to apply for another physical card(for Rupay platinum) in BOB world app it says error "No Eligible account or card found for issuance " as per screenshot.
So you can have 2 savings accounts with BOB ? You mentioned you have both savings account in BOB ?

I have zero balance BOB B3 Plus Silver Account (sb 192) currently with physical VISA Classic debit card .
