1.Can you please tell which are the BOB accounts eligible for getting this card? Scheme codes?

Any BoB account afaik (not sure about zero balance accounts)

2.I recently took BOB LITE account. If I maintain 10K QAB. Will I be getting this?

Don't know about BOB Lite account as it only shows Rupay Platinum DC on home page. Go to your branch and try to apply. They'll tell you which DC are available for your account. If Visa Signature Male with BIN 402657 is available to apply then maintain 10k QAB and apply thereafter.

3.Is there any confirmation in the annual fee waive off or (zero) if 10K QAB is maintained in the respective account?

Fee of ₹750+gst won't be waived off even if you're maintaining 10k QAB. Its just the eligibility criteria to apply for this card.

4. Will the card become inactive if we downgrade the account later?

Nope. Just keep paying card fees and it'll remain active.

Update: Completed two trips in a week. Previously all my experience was limited to Ola, but this is different and in fact bit surprising 🙂

Both the times, got very clean ciaz and courteous driver, water bottle, lays chips. At least two calls in each trip about the updates and status. Though car is ciaz, overall experience was like a VIP treatment, may not be at that level, but still very good.

And all this for little to no expense. So some what thinking, this may not last long 🙂

Today I had a conversation with the bank branch person. He categorically said that he can give the cards but neither Rupay select nor Visa Sapphire card will be having annual free waiver if QAB 10000 is maintained in the account. This QAB 10000 is just for the getting eligible for the cards not for any sort of fee waiver or zero annual fee criteria. Did you get this matter in writter format or mail?

This eligibility criteria is only for getting card. Not for fee waiver. Even he has replied to same question. Not for fee waiver question.

No fee waiver for BOB Cards.
Don't waste the time.

1. How much time does it take to open an account online vs offline?
2. If I’m opening online how will the home branch be decided? Asking because I understand that only home branch can issue this card.

I’m going out of town in a day or two so wanted to see if everything can be done in a day so by the time I return (in about a week) I have card issued to be able to avail complementary car drop service back home.
