Fine-print notesDescribed by bankbazaar and cardinsider (March 2026) but not a row in the bank MITC fee table that was read, so the general IOB charges shown here are assumed, not confirmed, for this variant. MITC: finance charge 2.50% p.m. (30% p.a.), monthly compounding from transaction date; over-limit fee Rs 100; minimum due 10% of billed amount (min Rs 100); interest-free period 20 to 50 days; cash limit 40% and gold purchase limit 50% of card limit; card replacement Rs 100 + GST; up to four add-on cards, free. The bank's credit card product and FAQ pages render no body text to the fetch tool, so rewards, lounge and insurance come from aggregators. Aggregators: EMI at 13% (3/6 months), 15% (9/12), 17% (18/24) with nil processing fee on transactions of Rs 3,000+.
