| Card | Earns | Rate here | The cap, and the rule it comes from |
|---|---|---|---|

| ICICI Bank NRI Sapphiro ICICI Bank | accelerated | 0.50% | 4 RP per ₹100 on international spends against 2 RP per ₹100 domestic — the one genuinely NRI-shaped line on the card, and still only 1% at ICICI's ₹0.25 redemption, against a 3.5% + GST markup. |

| Axis Bank Signature Axis Bank | accelerated | 0.20% | 2 EDGE points per ₹100 against 1 domestic — 0.4% at Axis's own ₹0.20 a point, against a 3.5% mark-up plus a 1.5% dynamic-currency-conversion fee that swallow it several times over |

| KrisFlyer SBI Card APEX SBI Card | full earn | 3.30% | 4 miles/₹100 on international spends (8 per ₹200) — but against a 3.5% foreign-currency markup, so the 4.4% earn nets under a point |

| HSBC Platinum HSBC | full earn | 0.67% | 2 reward points per ₹150 — HSBC's exclusion table is MCC-based with no currency test — but against a 3.5% markup, so foreign spend costs more in markup than the 1.33% it earns back |

It runs against the KFS's FULL 3.5% markup, because the 0% exemption names "(CSK/SRH Master World Variant)" alone, so the earn is eaten several times over.

| MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Platinum ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | ₹1.25 myCash per ₹200 vs ₹1.00 domestic — international spend earns MORE here, which is rare — but against a 3.5% markup, not the 0.99% the flagship MakeMyTrip card gets |

It still pays the standard 3.5% foreign-currency markup, which is the part the product page does not put next to the doubled earn |
| SBI Card PRIME SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend earns the 2 points per ₹100 base — 0.5% against a 3.5% markup, PRIME being outside SBI's reduced-markup tier |
| IndiGo Axis Bank Credit Card Axis Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Base 1 BluChip/₹100; 3.5%+GST markup |
| SBI Card MILES SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | 1/₹200 (2/₹200 if travel MCC); 3%+GST markup — the worst forex of the MILES range |

| ICICI Bank Rubyx ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 4 RP/₹100 on international (2x domestic); 3.5%+GST markup |

| ICICI Bank HPCL Super Saver ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 RP per ₹100 — the T&C's own table prices domestic and international identically — against a 3.5% + GST markup |
| AU Bank NOMO Credit Card AU Small Finance Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 RP/₹100 on international spend behind a 0.99% cross-currency markup — the lowest band AU charges, shared only with Zenith+ and Traverse (MITC, 7-Jul-2026). AU's fair-usage fees do not apply to international transactions, which makes this the one AU card where foreign spend is close to break-even |
| IDFC FIRST HPCL Power+ IDFC FIRST Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 3 RP/₹150, the same rate as at home, against the full 3.5% bank-standard markup |
| Reliance SBI Card PRIME SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend is one of this card's accelerated categories at 5 Reward Points per ₹100 (1.25%) — real, but still well under the 3.5% foreign-currency markup it is paying |
| Landmark Rewards SBI Card PRIME SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend is one of this card's accelerated categories at 10 points per ₹100 (2.5%) — better than the 3.5% markup it pays, and the only travel-shaped thing this card earns on |
| ICICI Bank HPCL Coral Credit Card ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 Reward Points per ₹100 on international spend against ICICI's 3.5% + GST cross-currency markup; the MITC names no HPCL Coral exception on forex |
| ICICI Bank Platinum Chip Credit Card ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 Reward Points per ₹100 on international spend, against ICICI's 3.5% + GST cross-currency markup — the MITC names no Platinum Chip exception, so the earn recovers about a seventh of the markup |
| IndianOil Kotak Credit Card Kotak Mahindra Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Base 3 Reward Points per ₹150. Kotak charges 3.50% as a foreign-currency markup AND a separate 3.50% dynamic-currency-conversion fee — the same rate on both legs, which is unusually steep |
| ICICI Bank Coral against FD ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 RP per ₹100, the same rate as domestic, against a 3.5% + GST mark-up |
| ICICI Bank NRI Coral ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Base rate, the same as domestic, against a 3.5% + GST markup — and foreign spending is the whole premise of an NRI card, so this is the line that stings. |
| Axis Bank Shoppers Stop Credit Card Axis Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Foreign spend is on neither exclusion list, so it earns the same base rate as at home — against a 3.5% markup, plus a dynamic-currency-conversion markup that rises from 1.5% to 3.5% on 28 August 2026 |
| RBL Platinum Delight RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | International spend earns 2 RP/₹100 (4 at weekends) and counts toward the ₹2 lakh waiver; RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment applies on top (MITC) |
| RBL Platinum Max RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | International spend earns the base 2 RP/₹100; RBL's standard 3.5% currency-conversion assessment applies on top, and it also applies to rupee transactions at merchants registered overseas (MITC) |
| RBL Platinum Prime RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Base 2 RP/₹100 on international spend, with RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment on top (MITC) |
| IndianOil RBL Bank Credit Card RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Foreign spend is on no exclusion list and earns the base 1 Fuel Point per ₹100 — but against a 3.5% + GST markup, so the 0.5% back never covers it |
| RBL World Prime RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | No international accelerator — foreign spend earns the base 2 RP per ₹100 and pays RBLs up-to-3.5% markup |
| RBL World Max RBL Bank | full earn | 0.50% | No international accelerator — foreign spend earns the base 2 RP per ₹100 and pays RBLs up-to-3.5% markup |
| KVB SBI Signature Card SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend earns the 2 points per ₹100 base against a 3.5% markup |
| KVB SBI Platinum Card SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend is one of this card's accelerated categories at 10 points per ₹100 (2.5%) — a rare case where the accelerator actually outruns the 3.5% markup, until the 7,500-point monthly ceiling lands |
| South Indian Bank SBI Platinum Card SBI Card | full earn | 0.50% | International spend is one of this card's accelerated categories at 10 points per ₹100 (2.5%), which beats the 3.5% markup until the 7,500-point monthly ceiling lands |
| RBL Bank Black RBL Bank / MWYN Tech (MoneyTap) | full earn | 0.50% | No international accelerator — foreign spend earns the base 2 RP per ₹100 and pays RBLs up-to-3.5% markup |
| Kotak Privy League Signature Kotak Mahindra Bank | full earn | 0.50% | Base 2 RP/₹100; 2%+GST markup (paid variant) |
| Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank ICICI Bank | full earn | 0.50% | 2 RP per ₹100 — the card's own earn table prices domestic and international identically — against a 3.5% + GST markup |
| Apollo SBI Card SELECT SBI Card | full earn | 0.45% | International spend earns the base rate against a 3.5% foreign-currency markup, and Health Credits are spendable only inside the Apollo estate — so a foreign swipe here is the worst of both |
| IDFC FIRST Wealth IDFC FIRST Bank | full earn | 0.38% | Full 3X/10X earn + 1.5% forex markup (low, not zero); app travel gets 33%/13% bonus RP |
| IDFC FIRST Select IDFC FIRST Bank | full earn | 0.38% | 1.99% markup — but international purchases are a 10X category since 18-Jun-2026, so 10 RP/₹200 ≈ 1.25% partly offsets it |
| IDFC FIRST Millennia IDFC FIRST Bank | full earn | 0.38% | International purchases are a 10X category — 10 RP/₹200 ≈ 1.25% — against a 3.5% markup |
| IDFC FIRST Classic IDFC FIRST Bank | full earn | 0.38% | International purchases are a 10X category — 10 RP/₹200 ≈ 1.25% — but against the 3.5% markup Classic carries, so the trip still costs more than it earns |
| HPCL ENERGIE BOBCARD BOBCARD (Bank of Baroda) | full earn | 0.33% | Core 2 RP/₹150 only — HPCL Energie's accelerated table is fuel, utilities and departmental stores, with no international flag anywhere in it, and the markup is the standing 3.5% |
| Kotak Royale Signature Kotak Mahindra Bank | full earn | 0.33% | International spend is on this card's ACCELERATED list at 4 Reward Points per ₹150 — double the base — but it pays a 3.5% markup to get there, so the accelerator does not come close to covering the cost |
| CUB CSK RuPay Platinum City Union Bank | full earn | 0.33% | The 1 RP per ₹150 base applies abroad — CUB publishes no separate international rate for this variant — against the KFS's full 3.5% markup, which the 0% exemption reserves for the Master World. MCC 6051, foreign currency purchase, is excluded under Cash Transactions |
| CUB SRH RuPay Platinum City Union Bank | full earn | 0.33% | The 1 RP per ₹150 base applies abroad, against the KFS's full 3.5% markup — the 0% exemption names the Master World variant alone. MCC 6051 is excluded under Cash Transactions |
| Axis Bank REWARDS Axis Bank | full earn | 0.32% | 2 EDGE REWARD Points per ₹125, the same rate as at home, against a 3.5% markup |
| Kotak League Platinum Kotak Mahindra Bank | full earn | 0.27% | International spend earns the ordinary grid — it is not one of the six named special categories — against a 3.5% markup |
| RBL World Safari Plus RBL Bank | full earn | 0.25% | Zero markup — RBLs Schedule of Charges carves the whole Safari family out of the 3.5% forex line ("0% on World Safari Plus Credit Card"). Foreign spend earns the ordinary 1 RP per ₹100 unless it is travel booked on the rewards portal |
| RBL Bank Patanjali Swarn RBL Bank / Patanjali | full earn | 0.25% | RBL publishes no separate international rate for this card — treated as the base 1 RP per ₹100 at the up-to-3.5% markup (inferred, flag) |
| TVS Credit RBL Bank RBL Bank / TVS Credit | full earn | 0.25% | No international accelerator — foreign spend earns the ordinary channel rate and pays RBLs up-to-3.5% markup |
| RBL Bank Blockbuster RBL Bank / BookMyShow | full earn | 0.25% | No international accelerator on this card — foreign spend earns the base 1 RP per ₹100 and pays RBLs up-to-3.5% markup |
| BPCL SBI Card OCTANE SBI Card | full earn | 0.25% | International spend earns the 1 point per ₹100 base — 0.25% back against a 3.5% foreign-currency markup, a 14-to-1 loss. Nothing on this card accelerates abroad; the 25X is BPCL pumps in India |
| Federal Bank Celesta Federal Bank | full earn | 0.25% | International spends earn the 3X (0.75%) travel/international rate; 2% markup |
| SimplyCLICK SBI Card SBI Card | full earn | 0.25% | International spend earns the base rate, but the 10X is INR-only by SBI's own clause (a) — so a foreign-currency booking at a partner earns nothing extra, against a 3.5% markup |
| AU Zenith+ AU Small Finance Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 2 RP/₹100 on international (accelerated) + 0.99% markup — the lowest AU forex |
| Kotak811 Dream Different Kotak Mahindra Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 2% foreign-currency markup — the RCAS puts Dream Different on the reduced list with Kotak Infinite, White Reserve and the Air+ cards, against 3.50% for the rest of the shelf. Dynamic currency conversion dropped from 3.5% to 2% on 1 September 2026, per the same agreement's "2% for Dream Different Credit Card effective 1st Sept, 2026" |
| RBL Platinum ShopGain RBL Bank | full earn | 0.25% | International spend earns the ordinary rate with RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment on top (MITC) |
| RBL Platinum Plus RBL Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 1 RP/₹100 on international spend, 2 RP/₹100 if it settles as an online transaction; RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment applies on top (MITC) |

| AU LIT Credit Card AU Small Finance Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 1 RP/₹100 on international spend, and AU's fair-usage fees explicitly do not apply to international transactions — but LIT carries a 3.49% cross-currency markup (MITC, 7-Jul-2026), the highest band AU charges, so the earn does not begin to cover it |
| AU Altura Plus Credit Card AU Small Finance Bank | full earn | 0.25% | The ordinary rate on international spend, against a 3.49% cross-currency markup (MITC, 7-Jul-2026). AU's fair-usage fees do not apply to international transactions |
| Paisabazaar Step-Up SBM Credit Card SBM Bank (India) | full earn | 0.25% | Foreign spend is on no exclusion list and earns the base 0.25%, against a 3.5% markup — the worst trade on this card by a distance |
| Indian Overseas Bank RuPay Select Indian Overseas Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 2.50% conversion fee on international transactions — a point under the 3.5% Indian norm — applied to the INR amount VISA/Mastercard/RuPay convert at. No separate earn rate is published for foreign spend, so the ordinary rate is assumed to apply. The card is not valid for foreign-currency transactions in Nepal or Bhutan |
| Indian Overseas Bank RuPay Platinum Indian Overseas Bank | full earn | 0.25% | 2.50% conversion fee on international transactions, a point under the 3.5% Indian norm. No separate earn rate is published for foreign spend. The card is not valid for foreign-currency transactions in Nepal or Bhutan |
| IndianOil Axis Bank Credit Card Axis Bank | full earn | 0.20% | International spends earn the base 1 EDGE REWARD Point per ₹100 — 0.2% — against a 3.5% foreign-currency fee and a 1.5% dynamic-currency-conversion markup. This is a domestic card in every practical sense |
| RBL Bank SalarySe UP RBL Bank | full earn | 0.20% | 1 RP/₹100 on international spend, counting toward the waiver, with RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment on top (MITC) |

| IOB Gold Credit Card Indian Overseas Bank | full earn | 0.20% | 2.50% conversion fee on international transactions, a point under the 3.5% Indian norm — the single most useful thing on this card. No separate cashback rate is published for foreign spend. Not valid for foreign-currency transactions in Nepal or Bhutan |

| Axis Bank NEO Axis Bank | full earn | 0.10% | 1 EDGE REWARD Point per ₹200, the same as at home, against a 3.5% markup plus a 1.5% dynamic-currency-conversion markup — the worst pairing on the card |

| RBL EasySaver RBL Bank | full earn | 0.06% | Base 1 RP per ₹400 on international spend with RBL's 3.5% currency-conversion assessment on top (MITC) |
| RBL Platinum LifeEasy RBL Bank | full earn | — | RBL publishes no international rate and no base rate for this card — nothing to state beyond the up-to-3.5% markup (flag) |
| DCB PayLess Select Credit Card DCB Bank | full earn | — | Counts toward the quarterly ₹1,00,000 like any other purchase, against a 3.5% cross-currency markup. The card's overseas value is the one international lounge visit a year, not the spend |
| DCB PayLess Platinum Credit Card DCB Bank | full earn | — | Foreign spend is on no exclusion list, so it counts toward the quarterly ₹50,000 like any other purchase — against a 3.5% cross-currency markup, which is a long way past anything a ₹250 quarterly cheque can pay back |
| Standard Chartered Smart Standard Chartered | capped | 1.00% | Foreign spend is on no exclusion list and earns whichever channel rate applies, inside the same monthly ceilings — against a 3.5% overseas transaction fee, so the cashback never covers the markup |
| PhonePe SBI Card SELECT BLACK SBI Card | capped | 1.00% | International spend earns the 1 point per ₹100 base against the 2,000-point monthly "other spends" ceiling, and pays a 3.5% markup for the privilege |
| BOBCARD Tiara BOBCARD (Bank of Baroda) | capped | 0.75% | 15 RP/₹100 on international spend, but the accelerated bucket stops at 5,000 RP a statement cycle — about ₹33,000 of accelerated spend, shared with dining (5812) and travel (4722) — after which international spend earns core 3 RP/₹100. Markup is 2%, one of only six BOBCARDs inside that carve-out |
| RBL Platinum Maxima RBL Bank | capped | 0.50% | 10 RP per ₹100 on international purchases, sharing the same 1,000-point monthly ceiling as dining, entertainment and grocery; the up-to-3.5% markup applies on top |
| RBL Platinum Maxima Plus RBL Bank | capped | 0.50% | 10 RP per ₹100 on international purchases, sharing the same 1,000-point monthly ceiling as dining, entertainment and grocery; the up-to-3.5% markup applies on top |
| BOBCARD Premier BOBCARD (Bank of Baroda) | capped | 0.50% | 10 RP/₹100 on international spend, but the accelerated bucket stops at 2,000 RP a statement cycle — about ₹20,000 of accelerated spend, shared with dining (5812) and travel (4722), the tightest ceiling on the BOBCARD shelf — after which it is core 2 RP/₹100. Markup is the standing 3.5%; Premier is not in the 2% carve-out |
| RBL World Plus RBL Bank | capped | 0.50% | 20 RP per ₹100 on international spend — 10x, and the best forex earn on RBLs legacy shelf — capped at 2,000 points a month (about ₹10,000 of foreign spend). RBLs up-to-3.5% markup still applies; this is not a zero-forex card |
| IDFC FIRST Private IDFC FIRST Bank | reduced | 3.33% | 5 RP/₹150 on eligible international spends vs 10 RP/₹150 domestic (~3.33% at the ₹1 app-travel value) — half the domestic rate, but the forex markup is 0% |
| IDFC FIRST Gaj IDFC FIRST Bank | reduced | 2.00% | 0% forex markup, but the EARN drops: 3 RP/₹150 on international transactions vs the 5 RP/₹150 domestic base. IDFC counts INR-billed DCC and India-transacted spends on overseas-registered merchants as international too |
| IDFC FIRST Ashva IDFC FIRST Bank | reduced | 1.33% | Fixed 5 RP/₹150 on international spends vs the 5 RP/₹150 domestic base (Jan-2026 rev — no 10X abroad, so the earn rate itself never drops), but they count toward the ₹20k trigger; 1% forex markup |
| Kotak Air+ Prime Kotak Mahindra Bank | earns nothing | — | International transactions earn no Air Miles at all, despite the low 2% markup — the markup buys cheap swipes, not miles |
| Kotak Air+ Kotak Mahindra Bank | earns nothing | — | International Transactions in the published no-earn list; 2% markup and no earn — avoid overseas |
| DBS Altitude DBS Bank India | earns nothing | — | "International Spends · All MCC codes · No Vantage Points" on the published table, matching the product page's "4 Vantage Points for every ₹200 spent within India"; an earning row higher up the same page is headed "Domestic & International Purchases", but that page is partly DBS Vantage boilerplate. Forex markup is 0% in Asia and 1% elsewhere — abroad the markup, not the earn, is the benefit |
| IDFC FIRST Diamond Reserve IDFC FIRST Bank | earns nothing | — | "Reward points will not be given on international spends" — the 0% forex markup applies to exactly the transactions that earn nothing |
| Scapia (Federal Bank) Federal Bank | earns nothing | — | Official: no coins on international spends — the 0% forex markup IS the reward (same trade as RBL World Safari) |
| ixigo AU AU Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | Official: no RP on international spends — the 0% forex markup IS the reward |
| HSBC Live+ HSBC | earns nothing | — | The trade HSBC made when it cut the markup to 1.99%: "1.5% cashback will no longer be earned on international spends" — foreign swipes are cheap here and earn nothing |
| Amazon Pay ICICI Bank ICICI Bank | earns nothing | — | Zero rewards on international transactions w.e.f. 11 Oct 2025 — you pay the 1.99% markup and earn nothing back. The single most expensive line in this card's T&C and the product page never mentions it. |
| Kotak Solitaire Kotak Mahindra Bank | earns nothing | — | No Air Miles on international transactions (official) — the 0% forex markup IS the reward, same shape as au-ixigo; corrected from full, 2026-07-22 |
| RBL World Safari RBL Bank | earns nothing | — | Official: NO reward points on international spends (exception: travel-MCC international still earns 5/₹100). The 0% forex markup IS the reward — worth ~3.5% vs typical cards |
| RBL World Safari Lite RBL Bank | earns nothing | — | No reward points on international spend; the 0% markup is what you get instead |
| Kotak White Reserve Kotak Mahindra Bank | earns nothing | — | No per-swipe points; 2%+GST markup (2% DCC) |
| BOBCARD Uni GoldX BOBCARD (Bank of Baroda) | earns nothing | — | The punchline of the card — Uni Coins do not accrue on international transactions at all, so the Nil forex markup buys a free swipe that pays nothing |
| YES Bank Zagg Credit Card YES Bank | earns nothing | — | No coins on foreign spend, and 3.50% + GST markup on top — plus YES Bank's separate 1% DCC charge if a foreign merchant bills you in rupees |
| ICICI Bank Parakram ICICI Bank | earns nothing | — | ZERO. The T&C's earn table reads "Insurance, utility and international spends — 0 (With effect from Apr 15, 2024)", against a 3.5% + GST mark-up on the same transaction |
| ICICI Bank Parakram Select ICICI Bank | earns nothing | — | ZERO. "Insurance, Utility and International spends — 0 (w.e.f Apr 15, 2024)" in the card's own T&C, against a 3.5% + GST mark-up |
| Utkarsh Eternal Credit Card Utkarsh Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | Earns NOTHING — 'Foreign Currency Purchase' is item 5 on the ineligible list, and the foreign-currency surcharge is 3% of the converted value — below India's 3.5% norm, but on spend that pays no cashback at all |
| Utkarsh Rhodium Credit Card Utkarsh Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | Earns NOTHING — 'Foreign Currency Purchase' is item 5 on the ineligible list, and the foreign-currency surcharge is 3% of the converted value — below India's 3.5% norm, but on spend that pays no cashback at all |
| Utkarsh SmartGen Credit Card Utkarsh Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | Earns NOTHING — 'Foreign Currency Purchase' is item 5 on the ineligible list, and the foreign-currency surcharge is 3% of the converted value — below India's 3.5% norm, but on spend that pays no cashback at all |
| Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card HDFC Bank | earns nothing | — | Zero cashback — "Purchase of foreign currency" and travellers' cheques are on the exclusion list alongside cash advances, fees, interest and penalties |
| Suryoday SFB RuPay Platinum Suryoday Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | MCC 6051, "Foreign Currency Purchase", is on the exclusion table — a foreign-currency PURCHASE earns nothing. An ordinary overseas card transaction is a different thing and is not excluded, though it carries the 2.5% + GST foreign currency surcharge |
| Suryoday SFB RuPay Select Suryoday Small Finance Bank | earns nothing | — | MCC 6051, "Foreign Currency Purchase", is excluded. An ordinary overseas transaction is not, but carries the 2.5% + GST foreign currency surcharge |
| Scapia (BOBCARD) BOBCARD (Bank of Baroda) | earns nothing | — | Official: no coins on international spends — the 0% forex markup IS the reward |
| Kotak Air Kotak Mahindra Bank | n/a | — | International transactions are absent from Air's published no-earn list (Air+ excludes them explicitly), but Kotak does not confirm they earn — not published |
| Paisabazaar Paisa Plus Credit Card SBM Bank (India) | n/a | — | SBM's KFS prints "Forex Fee — N/A" for this card where every sibling prints a percentage, so we record no foreign-currency treatment at all rather than read the absence as a zero markup |

4 more questions about this board — how the rate is worked out, and what else readers ask
How is this ranking computed?
Ranked by the forex markup published in each issuer's MITC / fees-and-charges document (data on our fine-print desk), lowest first; ties break on the lower annual fee. The ₹-per-₹1L figure adds the 18% GST issuers levy on the markup. Cards whose MITC we haven't researched yet are listed unranked below — we don't invent a number to fill a cell.
How many cards are in this forex ranking?
433 of the 973 Indian personal cards on the desk are ranked here. 212 are listed unranked with the computed reason — not ranked — fine print pending — because a card we can't rank honestly gets named, not hidden. A further 328 are carried but not valued at all — 51 with no annual fee any issuer document states, 231 whose issuer has not published how the card earns, 46 with neither — because scoring an unknown as ₹0 is a claim, not a gap. Business and corporate cards are ranked apart from these: 70 priced ones sit on /best/business, because pricing an MSME card against a personal wallet answers a question nobody asked (ADR 0012).
How up to date is this list?
Every record behind this board — every issuer MITC / fees-and-charges document on the desk — was last re-verified on 10 Jul 2026. Nothing on this page is typed by hand: the podium, the table and the numbers in this answer are all recomputed from those records every time the site builds, so a devaluation moves the ranking the day we log it.
Which zero-forex & low-forex credit cards in India have no annual fee?
82 of the 433 ranked here are lifetime free. The best on forex markup is Scapia (Federal Bank) at 0%. The top of this board costs nothing either way — 15 cards level at 0%.

Where this comes from
Treatments are read from issuer T&C, reward annexures and FAQs (HSBC and SBI publish full MCC tables; HDFC and Amex publish only category names), corroborated by community reporting where the banks stay vague — those rows say so. Where sources conflict we keep the conservative treatment. "Rate here" is the card's first-tier earn × this category's treatment × our house ₹/point from the valuation index — the same number the wallet winner puts on a swipe. A capped card shows its rate before the cap bites; the rule text names the cap. Issuers churn these rules quarterly — a note's date is the rule's date, not ours.
