Isnt your brother’s case very standard, an almost sure shot way of getting infinia?
I am wondering what made you quote his case to compare with yours.
No, I quoted his case coz first your reply and earlier reply before yours replied me in a way that made it look I hardly know anything abt infinia and 2nd even though it was standard, the whole case was handled by me and my brother has no clue abt infinia benefits. I sold him the idea of infinia with all the benfits but all he was interested in was a "metal" card, even if it didn't gave him any reward points, it doesn't matter to him.
I as an add on under my brother's infinia, I am the one who take full benefit of 49,500/1,12,500 spend benefit to get 5x/10x points limit to max out the rewards on infinia on his for my benefit.
One thing is sure that corporate RM can do magic ! All the approvals ( exceptions) can be taken by BR ( bank representative) if the right guy buys your argument that you provide business to them . It’s all about who process your application and how well you represent your case . And corp RM are well connected and it’s easy for them to get approval in compare to branch representatives even sometimes BM . PS: got approvals for Infinia and EPM with 1.5L Net salary .
Exactly, and tbh even you might not have the whole picture (I think you might), but corp RM's are very very damn powerful. They don't deal in individual cases, they work only and only B2B. These people are the one's who bring alot of business to HDFC. I am not talking about principle amount, I am talking about fees, penalty, interests, interest rates. They don't follow any policy, They can give interest rate of 6% or 8% or 12% or 16% for business loans of current account cc limit (I think 99% of the people don't even know what is current account cc limit in this forum). They give loans with or without collateral. Each RM has clients with portfolio of atleast 500cr. I am not talking abt client's portfolio, I am talking abt business that clients bring just to HDFC, not any other bank or any other entity. These clients are golden for HDFC. HDFC will give 10 infinia's sometimes even LTF to clients mother, brother, sister, who can even be unemployed and those infinia's would be totally unsecured and without any responsibility of the clients. That's how much corp RM's make sure they keep their clients happy. And I am not even talking abt tier 1 corp RM, I am talking about tier 3 hdfc corp RM. Tier 1 Corp RM I am guessing would have 3-4x client portfolio compared to tier 3's RM's portfolio.
And this portfolio is not savings account, or FD's, these are PURE AND PURE Loan account. Basically B2B. So pure green cash for HDFC So HDFC usually agree to Corp RM's requests for cards.
Now I am not saying the corp RM I am talking abt will get me infinia. I want infinia but I know to keep realistic expectations too. I still think 99% that he might not be able to get me infinia. May be he can get father infinia as long as whoever is the business owner(client). This RM even has power to get MDR rates changed for their clients business. He can get the MDR rate to even as low as 0.4% (1.6% is given to most new hdfc clients), 0.4% is an amazing MDR. These corp rm's are so powerful that branch BM's are kids in front of them. And the boss of these corp RM's are also damn powerful. Upon asking him how he can request infinia for me, he said he doesn't know anything abt infinia as he handles loan portfolio only for hdfc, but he can just put in a request to his boss who can get it through.
And it's not really a big deal though abt infinia, HDFC anyways give infinia for 1cr FD right? without cibil check etc. Now, a normal businessman/trader will have a cgtmse cc limit of 1-3cr easily and paying annual fees for cgtmse/interest/penalties etc etc, which is amazing return for HDFC, so these clients are 10x more interest to HDFC than a guy with savings account and 6% FD interest for 1cr deposit. So it surely is believable that these corp rm's can get infinia easily but given that you are in blood relation with a hdfc client who gives huge business to hdfc anyways.
