What it's worth to you, after the fee
Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until ICICI Bank publishes terms we can cite.

2 notes on the card itself: how it is issued · why it ranks #458
Why #458 A business card carried, not ranked. What it is: a CGTMSE-guaranteed credit line in card form, and the cheapest revolving credit ICICI sells — 18% a year against 45% everywhere else in the business book. No published rewards, no published benefits.
The take
Business Micro Credit is the odd one out on ICICI's business shelf, and it is not really a rewards product at all — it is a credit line under CGTMSE, the government's credit-guarantee scheme for micro and small enterprises, issued in card form. That structure buys the borrower one thing that matters more than any rewards table: money at 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, where every other card in ICICI's business book revolves at 3.75% a month and 45% a year. On a small trader carrying a working-capital balance that difference is worth several times what any card on this shelf pays back. The price of it is a charge no other ICICI card has: the MITC's footnote reads "0.55% (+GST) of the Credit Card limit will be applied as CGTMSE annual guarantee fee", which is levied on the LIMIT rather than the spend — so a ₹10 lakh limit costs about ₹5,500 plus tax a year whether you draw on it or not, and the "Nil" membership fee beside it is true and beside the point. Beyond that, ICICI publishes nothing: no product page exists, the card is absent from the business-cards landing page, it earns no named place in the fuel-surcharge table, and no accrual rate is stated anywhere. This desk prints what the bank prints and no more.

Keep, downgrade or cancel
what we can and cannot price
Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

You hold this card.
Kept on this device, in your browser. It is never sent to us, never synced, and nothing else on the site reads it yet.
The downgrade
ICICI Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.

What's good
- No joining fee and no annual membership fee — ICICI's business MITC prints Nil in both columns
- Revolving credit at 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, against 45% on every other ICICI business card
- Backed by CGTMSE, the government credit-guarantee scheme for micro and small enterprises
- Governed by ICICI's business usage policy, so the limit is for business spend
Watch out
- The real cost is not the membership fee: "0.55% (+GST) of the Credit Card limit will be applied as CGTMSE annual guarantee fee", charged on the LIMIT whether you use it or not
- ICICI publishes no product page for this card — no rewards, no lounge, no benefits are stated anywhere
- It is missing even from the business MITC's fuel-surcharge table, which names every other card by name
- 3.50% forex markup plus a 1% dynamic-currency-conversion fee, and a ₹99 plus GST handling fee on any redemption
- ICICI may cancel the card, and every other card linked to the same business, for personal or non-business use
What these points actually fly
ICICI Bank has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

- 10 Sept 2026ICICI's September lounge list drops four doors and adds BhogapuramThe prior edition opened Bhubaneswar's landside Bird Lounge, Vadodara's Premium Lounge, Visakhapatnam's Airr Lounge and Bar, and Dehradun's landside Bird Lounge, and filed Ahmedabad T2 international as The Lounge opposite Gate 3 → Those four rooms are gone. Bhubaneswar keeps O'Vetra near Gate 8, Dehradun keeps Carnations in the security hold, Vadodara is off the list, and Visakhapatnam's rows are Encalm domestic and international at Bhogapuram. Ahmedabad T2 international is Adani Silver Lounge - International, Gate 08, and it is not asterisked
ICICI re-saved its consolidated domestic lounge list on 10 September 2026 and moved rooms, not quotas. Four doors an Annexure-1 card used to open are off the list: Bhubaneswar's landside Bird Lounge (O'Vetra, airside near Gate 8, stays), Vadodara entirely, Visakhapatnam's Airr Lounge and Bar, and Dehradun's landside Bird Lounge (Carnations, in the security hold, stays). Visakhapatnam's replacement is two Encalm rooms at Bhogapuram, which this map does not carry yet — the airport is not in our coordinate file, so those doors are recorded here and not drawn. Ahmedabad's T2 international row is no longer The Lounge opposite Gate 3. It is Adani Silver Lounge - International, first floor, Gate 08, and the row has no asterisk, so the whole Annexure-1 board gets it at each card's own quarterly quota rather than the three unlimited cards alone. Noida's three Jewar rows are still on the PDF and still unmapped.

- 29 Jul 2026Times Black publishes its eligibility bar and swaps BLADE for Thumby Aviation
- 1 Jul 2026ICICI's lounge-gate exemption expires for Adani One and MakeMyTripAdani One ICICI Signature, Adani One ICICI Platinum and the MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card were exempt from the ₹75,000-per-quarter spend gate on complimentary domestic lounge access — "valid till Jun 30, 2026" → All three now "require spends of ₹ 75,000 to be made in a calendar quarter to unlock airport lounge access in the next calendar quarter, with effect from Jul 01, 2026"
ICICI's MITC, headed "Last updated on Aug 2nd, 2026", carries the expiry date inside the exemption list itself and then restates it as a dated instruction below. No lounge visit is removed — MakeMyTrip keeps 2 domestic a quarter plus 1 international, Adani One Signature 4 a quarter plus 2 Priority Pass, Adani One Platinum 2 a quarter — but all of them now cost ₹3 lakh of routed annual spend on top of the fee, which reprices the ₹750 Adani One Platinum hardest. The ₹75,000 excludes rent, government, education, EMI, fees, interest, DCC and reversals, and the qualifying quarter is offset (26th to 25th), so the spend that unlocks Oct-Dec was made between 26 June and 25 September. Worth flagging for the desk: ICICI's own "Upcoming changes to Credit Card features and charges" page, re-read 28 August 2026, still lists MakeMyTrip among the exempt cards with no expiry, and never names the Adani One pair at all. Two live ICICI documents, two different answers; the MITC is the regulated one and the more recently dated, so it is the one we follow.
