Hello DImers, this community is one of the best source of CC information and application process. There are a lot of credit card threads on DD with information scattered about the application process. Other threads about good credit card and card to card basis are organized in the two threads below. My intention with this thread is to have a comprehensive guide and information for everyone who is applying for a new CC. CREDIT CARDS - you have and you want : https://www.desidime.com/discussions/credit-car... Credit Cards On "Card To Card" Basis : https://www.desidime.com/discussions/credit-car... CitiBank - checks Experian score and no. of cards, only KYC documents required. Physical address verification and kyc document collection. You can also apply through paisabazaar and their executive will collect your document. Time taken for card delivery = 10 days. High number of CC = rejection. Better to keep Citi as your first or second card. IndusInd - applying though bank bazaar if you have credit score, no documents required and no physical verification. Online KYC done. Just a phone call verification. Easy to get cc. Time taken thorough bank Bazaar = 14 days. SBI - Better to apply online through paisabazaar or though agent, for c2c need last month statement and card front copy. Physical address verification done and only 2/3 phone verification. HSBC - Prefers salaried individual. Need last 3 months statements of the salary account and salary slip. Physical KYC and Job verification. C2c temporarily paused for now. HDFC - *Provides CC without bank account but for many dimers including me, they asked for a bank account with them or they will not process your credit card application. My Application was approved in principle after credit inquiries but no progress. It will keep showing in process but there will be no progress for months if you don't have bank account with them. Pre-approved offer is the best way to go with them. You can also open a classic banking account with 1 lac initial funding and apply for cc and get regalia first. Axis likes to give CC to their old customers and does not like giving c2c basis if you dont have an account with them. For old account holders, no income docs required. Axis, SBI, BoB and ICICI offer CC against FD. For Axis, they are giving myzone easy CC. Need to go to branch and create FD, fill application and takes 1 week for CC to reach you. They stopped giving CC instantly like they used to. 80% cc limit against FD. Lein removed after 4-8 months. ICICI 90% limit against FD. Can open account online and opt for CC. Need to close CC to cashin FD. Also noticed that Citi and Indus provide cc limit of 0.625 times your monthly declared income. For example, if you declare 40k, they will give 25k; if you declare 80k, they will give 50k limit. Dimers, please contribute your valuable information on other various CCs so that we have a very comprehensive CC application thread. 3rd party websites that make it easy for approval include paisabazaar and bankbazaar. Physical kyc and address verification depends on the banks you apply for. Citi, SBI have compulsory physical kyc address verification. IndusInd has no physical verification. HSBC has address + job verification.

Paperless Bank Bazaar CC application process and review.
Applied for IndusInd Platinum on BankBazaar on 2nd June, they converted the application to IndusInd Iconia on 3rd June,
online kyc done next day 4th june and got approval mail from bankbazaar,
present status as on 10th june is application under review by IndusInd, and BankBazaar status is logged/docs verified. IndusInd email response states applicaiton is under review and will take upto 10 days from receipt date i.e 7th June.
Had to only upload Aadhar and Pan, but No income docs needed. Indusind called on 11/6, and confirmed details like work location, salary, designation and a reference. IVR says Approved on 15th. Card dispatched on 17th, delivered on 19th via bluedart.
Until recently iconia Amex was LTF and no joining fees on Bbazaar but now it shows 3500 joining fees. I got it LTF no joining fees.

Informative thread…But make one correction bro…HDFC provides cc even if u don’t have savings account with them.

Info updated, its hard to get a HDFC or AXIS cc without bank account. Maybe for some they do provide without bank account, but for me and most others, its very hard.

Have you checked your CIBIL score? As you are already pre approved then why they are rejecting your application?

Not sms but with calls. I think they leak your details to 3rd party. Since I entered my details at paisabazaar, I am getting a lot of 3rd party calls for CC. @rohan8397

I am currently having,
hdfc regalia first with 4.32 lac limit LTF
Flipkart axis 75k limit (got through c2c)
Sbi fbb with 1.5lac limit (got through c2c)
Today applied for icici platinum c2c LTF approx 93k limit showing

Which cards can i get more! Approx 500 annual fee or ltf. Modt spends are online shopping approx 1.5 lac pa.

What is upgrade from hdfc regalia first?

Deal Subedar Deal Subedar

upgrade to regalia only if they are willing to give you LTF.

SBI simplyClick is recommended for you, you can switch your FBB cc to simplyClick through call center. they take request on phone and deliver within a week.

If you are salaried, HSBC platinum LTF is also beneficial sometimes.

Now a days lot of offers are coming on BOB credit card. Select Credit Card and Premier Credit Card seems to be good and have waiver of annual fees.

You should’ve saved the last screen of card approval
It has all the details about the card : Number, Expiry , CVV*
If you’re not able to login to iMobile then I guess you need to wait for the physical card to arrive (7 days*)

Hi!

I had applied for first CC – Apay ICICI and was rejected. It’s almost 8-9 months since than.

I have no credit card and looking for one . Mostly for Paying Bills , Online shopping, insurance.

Can anyone suggest good cashback card for me which needs no income proof ? I Prefer LTF card as a start. I don’t have account in most popular banks like hdfc , icici , sbi.

Card against fd seems good option? If yes which is the best and safest as fd is secured only upto 100,000 by RBI. ?
Also is it wise for opting fd card? As technically returns are less on fd and if we consider opportunity return lost of min. 1% , we end up loosing 1k on 100000 fd every year . ?

If you have good credit score (check at wishfin, bankbazaar, paisabazaar for free), then try for IndusInd.
If you don’t have any credit score, CC against FD is the only option.
Axis, SBI, BoB, ICICI provide CC against FD with 70-90% of FD amount as limit. Your credit card will get cancelled if you encash your FD. However at Axis Bank, the lein in the FD is removed after 4-8 months on basis of your payment history.
After 6 months of CC, you can start applying for other CC’s on c2c basis and cancel your CC against FD.
It is safe in all these banks. For ICICI, you can have a zero balance account with FD of 10,000 and CC limit of 9k.
For Axis min FD amount is 20k.
Axis looks like the best when it comes to CC.
