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.

Open a savings account and apply for platinum credit card and wait for 3 months after you receive your platinum card. Then apply for Apay ICICI and you get instant approval. You can use your exiting CC to apply on c2c basis.

But but but but
Recently ICICI is not giving instant Apay icici card on basis of previous card. confirmed by @Simbha3 and @BubbleBoyChickenLittle

Strange thing happened today about Indusind bank.surprisingly received call from verification executive and he asked me to my address to verify same.then i told him and he arrived to my home and asked all details for my cc application. When i tell to i have pre-aproved offer of that card and any physical verification doesn’t required and same was inform me online.he just denied and said its compulsory to get card.
I wondered because in this corona crisis every bank avoid physical visit and do e-verification then indusund do instead even they claim for paperless and e-kyc. Very strange bank.
Now iam scary to take this card or not because they hav not any general protocol and even make false claim.

Deal Subedar Deal Subedar

Very strange. maybe they flagged your details and they were not matching with CIBIL and made the physical verification.
