I just checked with my branch people as I have some connections there. They asked me about my salary and confirmed that I am eligible for DCB FYF card (the guy checked with someone over phone). They made me fill the usual upgrade form and attach latest 3 month salary slips. Then the usual drop box.
I don’t have any hopes, but let’s see!
@Tosh @desaik231
 
Just received this email from their team after sharing my college degree :
To review your request, kindly forward the duly filled in form along with the self-attested income / supporting documents accompanied with a signed letter from your registered email id as a scanned copy.

Can you please tell me what is meant by 'signed letter' in this case? @akshay333 @desaik231 @Tosh
 
Probably the card upgrade form
Ok, even though I dropped the usual upgrade form at bank today, I will give it a shot here. Hopefully this one will be processed earlier than the bank form. Fingers crossed! If they decline online, I will wait for the offline form results and if successful, will upgrade to DCB FYF 🙂
 
Is this yadurya person trustworthy and bank employee? Which branch?
I got her number from the VP of HDFC credit card team during discussion on offer for my IIT Alumni.

Sought her permission to post her text message after sharing details of this forum.

I got my DCB LTF inspired by your post. My experience while applying the card from Kolkata below:

1. Filled up https://v.hdfcbank.com/htdocs/common/dinersblackinstitute/index.html and waited for a week, but no follow up from HDFC
2. Called Yadurya who requested to visit the local HDFC branch in Kolkata
3. Visited one of the smaller branches where they denied any knowledge of the offer, even after showing the DC Alumni portal link
4. Visit a larger branch where they confirmed the offer after speaking with the CC Kolkata Head
5. Handed over the documents, and opened a bank account (having a bank account with HDFC is voluntary and was explained by the bank as well)
6. No follow up or confirmation calls received, I got the credit card in my mail (with college initials engraved on the card) within 10 days

Thanks @desaik231 for my first super premium card! 😎
which card did u got black or privlige?

Thanks a lot for the info. I will try this. I am confused, they have mentioned moneyback+ card on the list but its such a basic card!
 
the list I have shared says which card you will get it if you are final year student of these colleges.

if you are alumn of this college you will get DCB or DCP based on income
If I dont have any HDFC/DCB card and i still am fulfil the criteria for college and salary, will I still get the card or is it only for existing HDFC/DCB card holders?
