First-Year Free Credit Card

The IndusInd Pioneer Card can be availed without paying any joining or activation charge. From the second year onwards, one would have to pay ₹25,000 + GST (₹29,500) as an annual fee. This fee can be waived by spending ₹10 lakh or more in a card anniversary year. Although the annual fees are high, the rewards offered with this card would make them worth it.

In case a customer is downgraded from Pioneer Private status, an annual fee of ₹50,000 + GST is applicable.

Welcome Bonus

You can earn 6,000 bonus reward points on spending ₹1 lakh within the first 30 days of card issuance. These bonus reward points will be credited within 90 days of achieving the spend. These bonus points are valid only for first-year activation.
