The issuer board
Every SBM Bank (India) credit card.
8 cards on the desk, ranked #413 to #1119 against every other card in India — not against each other. Fees run ₹0 to ₹499, and 6 of them are genuinely free for life. 5 of the 8 we carry without ranking, because SBM Bank (India) publishes no fee or no earn table for them — they are listed at the bottom, with what we do know.
how this board is ordered fold that back up
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: 7,93,363 cards in force — 0.6% of every credit card in India · ₹53 cr spent on them that month, 72% of it online.

An uncapped 1% on everything, on a card that costs nothing and needs no credit history.
Narrow 8 SBM Bank (India) cards
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.

Carried, not ranked
5 cards SBM Bank (India) won't put a number on.
Each of these is missing the fee, the earn table, or both, in every document SBM Bank (India) publishes. We keep the card — its page, its lounge row, its sources — and we refuse to rank it, because a net-value number computed against a fee nobody published would be wrong by exactly that fee. Each promotes itself onto the board above the day the document lands.
