Rupay Select Debit Card (RSDC) Features and Benefits - Latest update (FY 2025-26) & Future Uncertainties - Discussion

X
I've been using the Canara Aspire account since November last year and have had an overall good experience. After hearing they offer RSDC FYF, I got the card, as I plan to close the account next year. If they charge anything, I'll just keep a zero balance. Canara’s servers are excellent—never had a failed transaction or server issue. Also, love the feature that everything can be done via the A1 app like BOB which is a huge plus point for me.


On the other hand, PNB is always crowded, and server issues are common. BOI is another hassle—after opening an account online, the DBM is asking me to submit physical KYC documents to activate my debit card and cheque book. I told them I don’t have time for such unnecessary visits—what’s the point of online account opening then?


Now, they claim my signature isn’t showing, but I clearly remember signing during vKYC. BOI has only given me view-only access to their app.
Canra aspire account pe to platinum Tha free na. Rupay Select bhi milne laga?

As said before, banks have started devaluation / reevaluation their RSDC cards.
For example, see how PNB has changed.

Even though many threads exist on the same topic, those threads and posts are confusing. Hence, I created my own post so you can see the summary of changes.

Don't forget to like this post for my efforts to summarise.

Some important points.
1. Most of them have removed Uber. We have to check whether it gets updated on the Rupay redemption page or not.
2. NEO was their earlier version of RSDC. Now they have reduced the charges and eligibility.

Will update/edit further. Enjoy.
Great efforts and you have summarised it in best possible manner💯💯

I think u have to reissue the card. They have to update their bin accordingly. All previously issued cards possibly will be NEO only.

For new account opening all salary accounts in PNB, respective RSDC will be free. Check link shared by @drvirag
