Which credit cards give lounge access?

Many premium and travel-focused credit cards in India provide complimentary airport lounge access. Eligibility typically depends on the card variant and the payment network, such as RuPay, Visa, or Mastercard. Notable options include:

• RuPay Select cards, which offer access subject to quarterly spending criteria.
• Premium cards like HDFC Regalia, ICICI Sapphiro, and SBI Card ELITE.
• Co-branded airline cards that provide specific lounge entries.

From April 1, 2026, NPCI guidelines state that RuPay Platinum cards will no longer offer complimentary lounge access. Always verify specific spending requirements and eligible lounges through your bank's official website or mobile app.
