Ordered by our board, best first. The rank is the card's position among all Indian cards we price, so a gap between two rows is other issuers' cards sitting between them.

RBI, July 2026: 1,89,594 cards in force — 0.2% of every credit card in India · ₹239 cr spent on them that month, 76% of it online.

network, lounges, the fine print and what you can be approved for fold that back up

The first seven narrow the board — a card that isn't what you asked for is hidden, not greyed, because six hundred dimmed rows are a hazard rather than a filter. Income is different: it greys the cards you can't be approved for and prints the reason, since "you can't get this" is worth knowing. Spend categories come from each card's own MITC/T&C exclusions; a card that publishes no rule for a category stays, because silence isn't a claim. Abroad and late fee read the issuer's own MITC line: 3.5% is India's norm, so "under" means cheaper than standard, and a card whose document states neither is filed under "not published" rather than assumed cheap. Your picks live in the URL, so the link you copy is the board you're looking at.
