I have lot of cards which have complementary lounge access. I'll be travelling with a friend who doesn't have any cc which provides lounge access. 

Will he be allowed inside lounge using my card (considering I'll be accompanying him during entry )

Thanks

Yes, he will be allowed. A few months ago I used my two cards to access lounge for my two colleagues.

I have sometimes seen people being denied entry using their friends credit card at Delhi and Banglore after matching the names with boarding pass.

It's upto the lounge to allow entry in this case.  You can most probably get in but it's not guaranteed.

The card holder has to be present with a valid boarding pass. One cannot carry credit card of friend and claim access

Well it depends on the employee at the counter. While in early days when Paytm rupay debit card was offering lounge access I had given my card to a friend who has utilised at Delhi airport itself few times before he was denied entry after matching with boarding pass. After that I have been with my friends and they match name on boarding pass at Delhi airport. While In Goa airport the employee at lounge gladly accepted anyone card without asking for boarding pass and just said one card can be used only once.

They have been denied entry at the gate even with the card holder and the card holder were not allowed to swipe card for their friends.
Other times I have seen it work.

So it all depends on the lounge.

employee at the counter may disregard the rules on account of oversight, rush at the counter, greed for more visitors and more revenue. However card holder being present is the minimum norm which is supposed to be followed & verified. Strictly as per rules, only card holder has the right to lounge access. However lounges usually allow accompanying guests/family members of same card holder having multiple cards, as it gives them additional revenue.

Yes sometimes lounge employees overlook the rules due to various reasons. But it is not advisable to visit the lounge with someone else's card to avoid embarassment/insult at the counter in front of others.

Well I don't give my cards for lounge access as i have made my friends to apply for their own cards for benefits. And yes according to rule only card holder has right to lounge. In Delhi the employees have never allowed any accompanying guests with me and in Goa although it was crowded and it was peak time the employees were allowing any accompanying guest if they have multiple cards and i used my cards for 3 friends of mine as Goa airport was not entertaining HDFC cards and my friends had only HDFC cards.

In Bangalore when me and my sister were traveling, She used my dad's card for access and they accepted it without any problem. So it depends on the staff and the particular airport.

They allow in bangalore if you give 2 cards, doesn't matter if those cards are yours, your neighbors or some accidental person.
