Product pages (co-branded-creditcard, srh-bankingpartner) disallow automated reading, so welcome benefits, lounge access and team perks could not be read. An earlier MITC (v4, Nov 2025) showed joining fees of Rs 500 / 1,000 / 4,000; V5 (Apr 2026) shows joining fee nil. Reward caps and point expiry period are not stated ('may expire as per Bank's policy'). Forex markup is 0% on the Master World variants per MITC V5 and KFS V5. CardInsider's launch article quotes the older joining fees (Rs 500 / 1,000 / 4,000 + GST); the welcome gifts may have been tied to those fees.
