Hi, please can you explain where you are setting the attachment action? When I check the available actions for attachments, I see the following;
Was it one of these options that you chose please?

OK, I have reproduced the rule, and for me it works just fine. I noticed that your second transport rule is setup slightly different to the first. What happens if you match the settings to be the same as the first transport rule?
Also, what is the reason for the forwarding? Are the messages kept in both mailboxes or old forwarded to the other one?

Thanks for the update. can you please use only first transport rule and check if the email are getting forwarded to forwarding address.
Ideally using first transport rule , it should not allow forwarding of emails as well.
We are keeping the copy in mailbox VIm@domain.com and forwarding the emails to vim@sapprd.domain.com

I have reproduced both of your rules as follows;
Rule 1;
Rule 2;
The mailbox in rule 1 has forwarding enabled to the mailbox in rule 2, but also keeps a copy in both mailboxes.
Testing results
When I send any email to the mailbox in rule 1, I get an NDR as expected.
When I send an email to the mailbox in rule 1, with a PDF attached, the email is received in both mailboxes as expected due to the forwarding.
When I send any email directly to the the mailbox in rule 2, nothing happens.
When I send an email to the mailbox in rule 2, with a PDF attached, the email is received in the mailbox from rule 2 only.
Is this the behaviour you are hoping for?

Thanks for the update.
When you send any email (non PDF attach) to the mailbox in rule 1
you get an NDR as expected.
but the the same time email getting forwarded to the mailbox in Rule 2.
This should not happen as per the rule . can you please confirm the behavior

I can confirm that when I send any email (non PDF attach) to the mailbox in rule 1, I get an NDR as expected. Also, the same email is not getting forwarded to the mailbox in Rule 2. So for me, it is working as I think you wish it to?

Thanks Peter.
unfortunately , its not working for me
Whenever users send non pdf attach email to user in Rule 1 , i get NDR , but at the same time email getting forwarded to forwarding address.
Am i missing anything here

The only other thing I can think of is the order of processing for the transport rules. Do you have rule 1 set with lower priority than rule 2?

Don't think I explained myself very well there. What I mean is, the order that the rules are processed in Exchange Online is important. As in my example below, rule 1 gets triggered before rule 2, as rule 1 has a priority of 0, and rule 2 a priority of 1
If your rule 2 has a lower priority number than rule 1, then rule 2 would be triggered first and potentially ignore rule 1. Make sense?
