here's how you can order a Virtual Debit card :

* On the top right of the home screen, tap on the debit card logo
* Tap 'Card settings'
* Tap on 'Request for New card'
* Select any of the reasons mentioned
* On the next page, you will get option to choose between 'Digital Debit card - free' or Physical Debit card - 199+18% GST

If you got the card before the infinite change came into effect, then the card is free( atleast till expiry).

I got this confirmed with their support so I'm using it till expiry atleast and then will see if it's chargeable or not

I haven't been charged to date. I would recommend you talk to the fi team. You have to clearly mention to them you got this card during lifetime free and that they cannot charge you.

The executive clearly told me that since I hold the card BEFORE the change was announced I will not be charged any fees inspite of not being on infinite variant.

If you even order a replacement or new card after the change and if you're not on infinite, you will be charged.

I only posted based on verified facts and me personally using it and not speculation
I would recommend checking before down voting my comment :)

Do update here once you hear for them, and if you satisfy the criteria I mentioned above, I would recommend threatening closing the account on them if they don't agree

I had a screenshot of the conversation I Had with the executive. If I can find that, I'll send it across

I would recommend to complain with ombudsman.

If you've got the card for lifetime free when it was issued. They cannot charge you.
Either they refund the money or close the card.

I'm sure it'll come in your favour.

It looks like I got lucky.

This is their reply. I also called their support, and they informed me that even if you're Fi Money's first customer, you'll still be charged because of the new terms and conditions. Additionally, they have removed the points from their website where it previously stated that the card would be free if an account was opened before 2021 or something similar.

Currently, I'm on the Fi Money Infinite Plan, maintaining a monthly balance of 50K, mainly because I receive 2% cashback on my UPI spends for credit card payments, which gives me 500Rs each month. However, if they discontinue this offer, I'll consider leaving them. I have accounts with two Federal Banks: Fi Money and INDMoney. The latter was opened for me for a US stock account, which has zero balance and no debit card. It's worth noting that Federal Bank has had issues with compliance with RBI regulations in the past, particularly regarding credit cards and KYC. Additionally, Fi Money has a reputation for freezing accounts. Even if you're only using the bank account for small transactions, their algorithm for managing accounts is not very efficient.

Banks can Increase Charges - Condition is they just have to inform to Customers prior to 30 Days!

Interesting.

I think this change was bought recently.

So when I reached out to the CC , I was on the standard plan and they had confirmed then that it will be free for me.

Ever since that , Ive been on the infinite plan and maybe that's why I did not receive any communication regarding the charges of the card.

However I won't be maintaining the 50k this month, so we'll see how it goes. If they charge for the card, I'll close the account.

I was using it for small transactions till now and haven't faced any major issue but what I've realised is that they have terrible customer service and in case of an actual problem, we'll be left helpless.
