Copy paste IDFC Bank accounts in the same order to IDFC Credit Cards :D
 
Kotak Savings- Private, Insignia, Optima
Credit Cards- Infinite, White Reserve, White
Shouldn’t white reserve be above infinite
As the former offers unlimited domestics and international lounge access through DF to primary and addon and for infinite it’s capped ?
Plus white reserve comes in metal form factor and infinite in PVC ?

Indusind cards
1.Pioneer Metal Heritage
2.Pioneer Legacy/Crest
3.Indulge
Indulge and crest should take 2nd spot
Legacy is a mediocre card offering nothing substantial
If airport lounge is considered then Indulge should be above Crest too , but yeah crest gets MC world elite which makes it at Same level as that of Indulge .
 
As per me below should be an ideal portfolio

Entry level

Axis Myzone
SBI Cashback
Amazon Pay

Mid Level
HDFC Regalia
IDFC Wealth
Amex Plat Travel/Axis Atlas ( To enter the airmiles and loyalty redemptions )

Super Premium category
Axis Magnus
Axis Reserve / Infinnia ( which ever is suitable as per annual charges )
Pioneer World Heritage Metal ( for free bms and MC World Elite )

Why not damiant/plat charge/Centurion/citi prestige
in super Platinum category

It is not based on their usability or appearance.
It is based on Kotak banking and their hierarchy.

Kotak Private - Kotak infinite card
Kotak Black - Kotak White reserve card
Kotak Platinum - Kotak white card

As the op has mentioned the Premiumness, this is the correct order which is mentioned in Kotak site.

Not sure how a PVC card can be more premium than a metal card that too which provides same floor limit and additional lounge benefits that too for addon card members

Not sure about bank account variant , but if we compare card White Reserve is certainly above Infinite .
