@urboss Thanks for reply. In BOB world app it is only showing VISA Classic Virtual option for virtual card application (no other options) , as per screenshot.
If i try to apply for another physical card(for Rupay platinum) in BOB world app it says error "No Eligible account or card found for issuance " as per screenshot.
So you can have 2 savings accounts with BOB ? You mentioned you have both savings account in BOB ?

I have zero balance BOB B3 Plus Silver Account (sb 192) currently with physical VISA Classic debit card .

Yes, I have 2 savings account as mentioned in my last comment and 4 debit cards including 1 virtual.

I guess since it's a zero balance account, only classic versions are allowed. You need to visit branch and ask them to open a new savings account. If they don't ask them to close this account (if you are okay with it) and then after some days, open a new account.

Can't help you with sb code. I have a super savings account

I could apply rupay select wellness immediately online

Bob sapphire started showing after a few days once QAB was above 10k

Did you apply for both debit cards online via netbanking?

 

[neel]

Did you apply for both debit cards online via netbanking?

Select via nb

Sapphire via branch

Both came home on under a week

 

[SonyTom]

Thanks bro .

I have BOB Lite 0 Balance account. I maintain 3k and have LTF Rupay Platinum.
Can I maintain QAB of 10k and apply for Visa Signature Sapphire? Will I have to let go of Rupay Platinum?
What’s the benefit of Rupay Select?

Yes you can.
But not Rupay Sapphire.
That will be VISA Sapphire.
