Yes, you can request a limit increase through internet banking, mobile app, or by contacting customer care. Approval depends on your credit history and income. If you want, I can also create a more engaging, SEO-friendly FAQ section for your credit card website that boosts trust and conversions. Would you like me to prepare that next?
A late payment fee and interest will be charged. Missing payments can also impact your credit score.
2.5 Reward Points per Rs. 100 on e-commerce, 1.5 per Rs. 100 on e-commerce travel and airline transactions, and 1 per Rs. 100 at the point of sale and on MoTo, IVR and standing instructions. The split between online and in-store is unusual — most cards here classify by merchant category instead.
Priority Pass membership covering more than 1,400 lounges worldwide. With effect from 13 March 2025 IndusInd revised the allowance to one complimentary international visit a calendar quarter through Priority Pass. That is four a year, which is modest for the fee tier, so read the current terms rather than an older table.
One complimentary game and one complimentary lesson a month, at selected golf clubs in India, with effect from 13 March 2025. It is the most generous golf allowance of any card in our catalogue on a per-month basis, and unlike several others it is not conditional on a spend threshold.
Yes. IndusInd publishes the Rs. 5,000 joining fee as levied where the spend criterion of Rs. 50,000 is not met in the first 90 days of card issue. Reach Rs. 50,000 in three months — about Rs. 17,000 a month — and the fee is never charged. The fee structure differs for Grande and legacy customers, so confirm which applies to you.
IndusInd publishes an income or ITR requirement of Rs. 10 lakh a year for salaried applicants and Rs. 12 lakh a year for the self-employed. That is in the upper half of this catalogue and is the card's real gate — the fee is avoidable long before the income requirement is.
It depends on which benefit you use. The Pinnacle has the lounge access and the golf; the Legend has a 1.8% foreign currency markup against the Pinnacle's 3.5% and costs nothing at all. If you spend abroad more than you sit in lounges, the free card is the better travel card — which is an odd thing to be true, and it is.
Most cards in this catalogue classify a purchase by merchant category — dining, groceries, fuel. The Pinnacle classifies it by how the payment was made: 2.5 Reward Points per Rs. 100 on e-commerce, 1.5 on e-commerce travel and airline transactions, and 1 on point-of-sale, MoTo, IVR and standing instructions.
That has a practical consequence worth planning around. The same purchase earns two and a half times as much bought online as it does in a shop, and recurring payments set up as standing instructions earn at the base rate instead of being excluded, which is how most cards treat them.
With effect from 13 March 2025 IndusInd revised two of this card's headline benefits. The international lounge allowance became one complimentary visit a calendar quarter through Priority Pass, and the golf benefit became one complimentary game and one lesson a month at selected clubs in India.
Four international lounge visits a year is modest for a card at this fee tier — several cards here give three times as many. The golf, on the other hand, is the most generous monthly allowance in the catalogue and is not gated behind a spend threshold, which most golf benefits are.
IndusInd publishes the Rs. 5,000 joining fee as levied only where Rs. 50,000 of spending is not met in the first 90 days of card issue. About Rs. 17,000 a month for three months and the fee is never charged at all, which makes the headline figure misleading for anybody who actually uses the card.
The income requirement is the real gate: Rs. 10 lakh a year for a salaried applicant and Rs. 12 lakh for the self-employed. Note too that IndusInd publishes a different fee structure for Grande and legacy customers, so the figures that apply to your application are worth confirming with the bank rather than inferring from a comparison table.
