You mentioned that you dont have card on with you right now - But I assume you have your card details with you
Mainly: Card # / Expiry / CVV / DOB etc
If you have above, log on to
www.sbicards.com and than select "First Time Use" - Sign up here
Enter your details
You will be logged in and than on the left drop down options you would have the option of "Generate or Reset PIN"
Click there and set your PIN - that is basically activation of your card as this PIN would only be utilized during the PHYSICAL SWIPE Transactions.
This SHOULD enable your card for ANY ONLINE Transactions!
Also for all ONLINE Transactions - SBI prefers to send the OTP on the registered mobile number irrespective of the transaction amount!!
Not sure if above helps you!
