Introducing the *Tier Assessment* criteria for all customers!

We hope you are enjoying exclusive *Megastar benefits.* We encourage you to maintain a min. avg. quarterly balance of *₹2 lakh (Savings+FD)* or *₹50K (Savings)* to retain the Megastar Tier.

In case a minimum average balance of *₹2 lakh (Savings + FD)* or *₹50K (Savings)* is not maintained for this quarter (Jan - Mar), your Tier will be updated to Superstar *effective 1st April, 2024.*

Didn't even give time to understand the benefits haha.

There is no option to Downgrade the Signature Debit Card. So I guess I will block it and hope they don't charge?

Suggestion to update the post title to include "Indie" so everyone can find this post and be cautious.

There's no information about what will happen to Visa Signature card, it is supposed to be free only for Mega Star.
Their site doesn't show the Annual Charges for the card: https://indie.indusind.com/indie/plan-and-charges.html
The Visa Platinum is 499, so the Signature will be >499, totally worthless.

Back to square 1.

• Will continue until it's giving 5% on CC Bills (500*8). Any Star will do as all have no AMB requirements AFAIK.
• Block Debit Card.
• Remove from Zerodha.

Important Thing to Note

The balance maintenance period is Jan-Mar, but it is already 22nd Jan.
So if one has been maintaining below 50k, and from today maintains 50k, they will still be downgraded because the Quarterly Average Balance will be low since the calculation started on 1st Jan.

Example if you have been maintaining:
Rs0 - 01st Jan to 22nd Jan
Rs50k - 22nd Jan to 31st Mar
Your average balance will be 37k Only

You need to maintain over 66k from today for the above case.

Try tagging all these email IDs. I wasn't receiving SMS and email alerts for the account. I tagged them, and after 1 week, I got a call from Indusind to explain the issue. And they have activated alerts and e-statements since then. This is hit and trial.

Tagging the MD works, if someone wants to continue with Indie.

5% on cc bill pay how? Can you please elaborate...

Pay for credit cards in the bill pay section. Pay Rs500 and get 25 gems. Pay no more no less. Redeem at min. 100 gems (1 gem is 1Rs). Up to 8 individual credit cards per month per account. It is not much, I know.

 

[skbgp]

It means they may start charging for DC if tier downgrade happens

5% on cc bill pay how? Can you please elaborate...

25 gems on minimum 500 bill payment
