The concern
Locked to Privy League banking tier — and at ₹2,500 the open-market alternatives are stronger on pure value.
Bottomline
CardAdvisor Rating: 4.6 / 5A competent relationship card: dining multipliers, lounge quota, and fee math that works if you already hold Privy League status. It rewards loyalty adequately without ever being a reason for it.
