Frequently Asked Questions About Credit Cards in India

Expert answers curated by CompareMoney research analysts to help you choose, maximize, and manage credit cards without unnecessary fees.

Which is the best credit card for beginners in India?
For first-time applicants, Lifetime Free (LTF) credit cards like Amazon Pay ICICI, HDFC MoneyBack+, and Axis Neo are ideal. They charge zero joining and annual fees while rewarding everyday grocery, utility bill payments, and online shopping with straightforward statement cashback.
How do I get a Lifetime Free (LTF) credit card?
Banks routinely offer lifetime free credit cards to customers with stable credit profiles (CIBIL score above 750), salaried accounts held with the bank, or via promotional festival campaigns. Some cards also convert to lifetime free upon meeting a modest annual spend milestone (e.g., ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000).
What is the minimum CIBIL score needed for credit card approval?
Most Indian banks (HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis Bank) require a minimum CIBIL credit score of 720 to 750 for quick online approval. A credit score of 780 or higher significantly improves your approval odds for high-limit premium cards and lowers documentation hurdles.
Which credit cards offer complimentary airport lounge access?
Cards such as HDFC Regalia Gold, ICICI Sapphiro, Axis Atlas, and SBI Card PRIME offer complimentary domestic airport lounge access across major Indian terminals (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, etc.). Premium variants additionally include Priority Pass or Dreamfolks cards for international lounge visits. Note that many banks now require meeting a quarterly spend threshold (e.g., ₹35,000–₹50,000) to unlock lounge vouchers.
