Critical decision facts

Card cost, linked account, limits and usable benefits come as one package.

The debit-card proposition depends on the account relationship and the exact ATM, POS, international or lounge conditions attached to this variant.

Exact product-type evidence

Debit card evidence stays in its own structure.

Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.

Source-dated lounge entitlement

Current lounge access conditions

Status: Active · Reviewed September 11, 2026. Lounge access is an effective-dated relationship, not a permanent property of the card.

Domestic airport2 complimentary domestic airport lounge visits per calendar quarter at select participating airports.

Railway loungeNo railway-lounge entitlement is stated in the reviewed HDFC issuer material.

Effective state2026-01-10
Scope checks
  • The ₹10,000 criterion is a calendar-quarter spend rule and the benefit is voucher-based.
  • Do not reuse this rule for HDFC Infiniti or RuPay-specific debit variants because HDFC publishes exceptions/process differences.
Maintained terms

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

Existing eligible HDFC Bank account holders who want higher debit-card limits and can naturally satisfy the lounge-spend condition.

Verify before relying
  • Lounge access is spend-conditioned and voucher-based under the reviewed 2026 rules.
  • Some issuer subpages show stale fee copy; the reviewed fees page/product page state ₹850 + taxes, so current application/KFS terms should control.
  • Cashback and network offers have category, cap and merchant conditions.
Verified product relationships

Links the bank explicitly documents.

This section is narrower than the same-bank map below. Every relationship shown here has its own first-party evidence; products merely sharing a bank are not treated as linked.

Included with account

HDFC Bank Savings Max Account

HDFC Bank states that Savings Max includes a lifetime-free personalised Platinum Debit Card for the primary account holder.

The account relationship controls the fee treatment; current debit-card lounge, cashback and insurance conditions remain separate.Verify relationship at bank ↗
Maintained comparisons

Compare this product only where the pair is deliberately maintained.

Both sides keep independent review dates, exact conditions and first-party evidence. No winner score is generated.

First-party source ledger

Complete evidence set for this maintained profile.

Each source remains independent. A product page, tariff, KFS/MITC, rate schedule or programme document is not silently treated as interchangeable evidence.

Current-use rule

When the bank changes a term after the recorded review, the current agreement, tariff, KFS/MITC or effective rate table controls.
