If you are a student, you may need to meet the eligibility requirements applicable to a primary HDFC Credit Card. Where these requirements are not met, you may have access to an add-on credit card linked to an eligible primary cardholder, subject to HDFC Bank’s policies.
An add-on credit card generally has the following features:
It is linked to the primary cardholder’s credit card account
It may be issued to eligible family members, subject to the bank’s terms
Transactions are made within the credit limit applicable to the primary credit card account
Responsibility for repayment remains with the primary cardholder
Eligibility and availability of add-on cards depend on the primary credit card, your relationship with the primary cardholder, and HDFC Bank’s prevailing terms.
Several aspects of your financial profile may be considered during a credit card assessment. Maintaining accurate financial records and understanding these factors can help you prepare for the application process:
Repayment History: Timely repayment of your existing loan EMIs and credit card dues contributes to your credit history.
Credit Profile: Lenders may consider your credit score, repayment history, existing credit accounts, and other information in your credit report.
Credit Utilisation: The proportion of your available revolving credit being used may form part of the overall credit assessment.
Application Information: Personal, employment, income, and other information provided in your application should match the supporting documents submitted for verification.
Income and Employment Records: HDFC Bank may consider your income documentation, employment history, or business financial records when assessing eligibility.
Meeting individual eligibility parameters does not guarantee approval. HDFC Bank makes the final decision based on its internal assessment criteria and prevailing policies.
