They have already pushed an update on the Play Store recently which fixes the crash problem. Make sure to update it, or wait until it is rolled out to your device.
Just now updated and its working fine. Thanks
That is actually true!! I verified the same. My account is on the new portal and i am unable to see the debit card option for bill payment but my father and my sister both have their accounts on the old portal and they are still getting the option to pay bills via debit card.Apparently, all the people who are not getting the debit card payment option in BillPay in HDFC Netbanking are ported to the new HDFC Netbanking portal called NetPortal, which uses the same stack as that of the MobileBanking app, which is why you don't see the debit card payment option in either one of them. However, the old netbanking site still shows the debit card option.
Moreover, the new portal shows the HDFC and IDFC FIRST Bank cards now, but show the "Invalid Biller ID" when adding one. Apparently, HDFC has been testing this in production.
Now the question is that whether this is intentional from HDFC or not because they have pushed this update on the new portal but not on the old one!! To me it feels more like an intentional thing! They just haven’t pushed this update on the old portal as of now and will be doing so very soon!!

The new BillPay module seems tightly integrated with the new Netportal/MobileBanking app. Knowing HDFC Bank's history of infrequent updates to their decades-old netbanking site (last updated minorly in 2021), it's doubtful they'll backport this new BillPay module to the old version anytime soon.
However, they might disable debit card payments in the old BillPay portal if they're concerned about their profit and loss being affected by providing debit card rewards and paying card network charges. We'll know it soon.
That said, next month, there is Flipkart Big Billion and Amazon The Great India sale. So, they could also disable it temporarily until next month for the reason stated above.

Are you sure it’s 1% because I’ve read others say that with millennia DC it will 2.5% cashback on Mobikwik for CC bill payment! I also have millennia for which i got the fee for this year reversed so i guess I’ll be using mobikwik with millennia from here onwards!!
Also will the new merchant name “merchant” of Mobikwik affect Millennia DC or not? Ik one cannot confirm this yet since points are only credit after 90 days in case of millennia but just want to know what are your views on the same.

Still not showing in my MobileBanking app. What sorcery is this?
EDIT: But it's still showing in Netbanking though (I have the old netbanking portal. Debit card option was never removed from there.) And I have the EasyShop Platinum Debit Card too, offered by default with my Savings account variant.
It is definitely a technical glitch.
I thought after the recent upgrade, because of some bug it created this issue.
Then I thought, I should do something to my accounts to break this bug..
I did a fund transfer between my accounts.
Then ibith if my Plat DC are started appearing as shown in my above SS taken at 12:14 am...
After you guys complained now, I logged out and logged back in again..
Guess what all the DC are gone again..
So not to worry, I have now proven that , it is officially a technical glitch. HDFC guys will fix it..

Checked in netbanking.
Can see debit card option there.
Believe me guys, not to worry, it's bug created by this weekend's maintenance..
All will be fixed soon.
Not to worry about old or new UI

Your analysis makes sense.
Hdfc has gone bonkers though.
Removing sbi cards from list first.
Now this.
