Well, you can do what I did. But it is long process.
1. Downgrade your axis a/c to zero balance one, you will need to go to branch and hope they are cooperative.
2. In month or two there will be option to upgrade your debit card to this yellow one (which is completely free). I had upgraded from online rewards+
3. Get the card and activate.
In my case I also have one virtual card which gives Rs 200 on bogo on bookmyshow. Which is also zero cost debit card for me. Don't ask, I don't know how I got it, it was there when I opened 10k MAB a/c in 2021 Jan.
