    The benefits offered by the Bank of Baroda RuPay Select Debit Card (RSDC) significantly outweigh those of the EMT RuPay Platinum Debit Card. On average, RSDC provides annual rewards valued at over ₹18,000, compared to approximately ₹7,500 for the EMT RuPay Platinum card.

    Given the annual fees associated with both cards, the benefits far exceed the costs, making them highly valuable depending on individual preferences and spending patterns. Choosing the right card ultimately depends on personal needs and lifestyle. Most consumers aim to offset the annual fee through rewards and bonuses, with any additional perks serving as extra value.

    Both the cards FYF with BOB Super Savings Account. If you need both cards then get the RSDC first then the EMT one as a few TF members reported they are not getting the Select DC option after getting the EMT one.

    Avoid falling into the trap of acquiring both cards out of fear of missing out (FOMO) just because others are doing so. Evaluate your personal needs before deciding. I use both cards because I can effectively offset the annual fees and earn rewards that far exceed the associated costs.
