  • How to apply for credit card for student?


    Do you wish to apply for a student credit card? Find out if this is possible and the eligibility criteria & documents required for it.

    I am PhD student getting Rs. 25000/- as stipend or scholarship. I want to apply for credit card. I have approached SBI branch for credit card issuance but they refused to do so, stating students are not eligible for any credit card. One can permit based on fixed deposit money.

    I have not any experience of credit card eligibility by private bank. Do you know how to approach them? What are the terms and conditions for it?

  • Student credit cards are offered to students in India with some special features like low interest rates, no income eligibility limit, no joining or annual fees and such offers.
    You can avail student credit card in one of the following ways-
    1. Against fixed deposits
    You need to open a fixed deposit account with the bank from which you wish to avail the card. the credit limit depends on the amount of fixed deposit. SBI has one such card on offer. Visit your nearest SBI branch to enquire of the facilities.
    2. ADD-On cards
    Another better method is to get add-on cards on the existing credit cards held by your parents. These cards come in the name of the student, but payment liability is on the parents.
