Complimentary domestic lounge access (2 per quarter) is conditional on a high spend of ₹75,000 in the previous quarter, making the benefit difficult to access for many users.
The headline milestone benefits are extremely competitive and limited to a very small number of top spenders (e.g., top 18 annually), making them unattainable for the average cardholder.
Lacks any complimentary international lounge access, a feature often expected on 'Signature' tier cards with an annual fee of ~₹2,500.
The 1% fuel surcharge waiver is capped on transactions up to ₹4,000, limiting the maximum benefit to just ₹40 per transaction.
