Fine-print notesStatus corrected from closed-to-new to open: Standard Chartered's card page carries a live online application link (apply.standardchartered.co.in, selectedCardId=14), offers video KYC and says existing cardholders can also apply; nothing on the page or in the T&C says the card is withdrawn. Card page and product T&C read. fee_waiver_spend is null because the waiver is monthly (Rs 5,000 in the following month), not annual. Rent payments (MCC 6513) carry a 1% processing fee. Age and income criteria are not published. Forex 3.5% is from the tariff page. Conflict: the tariff page (slabs effective 1 May 2024) charges Rs 1,200 above Rs 10,000, while some product pages still show an older table (Rs 800 for Rs 10,001-25,000; Rs 1,200 above Rs 25,000). The tariff page figure is recorded.
