No it doesnt. I know friends who have Infinia / M4B / Amex Plat which were issued even after having late payment remarks (some payments missed due to travel / sickness etc). Life happens and not all late payments are defaults. Also no bank will remove late payment remark unless its their error - only account will be marked as closed and balance as 0. Issue will happen if your account is marked as "settled"
The late payment remark will at most have impact for next 2-3 months unless there is some other issue.
Who is talking about banks here? Aditya Birla Finance is NBFC which can easily remove late payment remark if they want.
Late payment remark will have a impact on his account for lifetime if it's doesn't get removed.
Yes, I am do accept the major bank will approve his application later but that will take few more years until his has good payments records
