Lifetime free

Best Lifetime-Free Credit Cards in India

Zero joining fee, zero annual fee, for good — every card in our lineup that actually qualifies.

A lifetime-free card charges no joining fee and no annual fee, ever — not just a waived first year. Two of the 9 cards below (YES Bank POP-Club and Jupiter Edge+) are lifetime-free only under a current promotional offer rather than a permanent policy, which is noted on their own fee breakdown.

  • 100% cashback up to ₹300 as a welcome benefit, on your first utility bill payment within 30 days of card issuance
