getting Amex card without ITR or salary slip is very difficult unless you have high net worth (luxury car under your name, high value property, huge bank balance etc).
Amex Amex doesn't offer LTF card normally
I have gotten Amex Smart Earn card (not LTF) without ITR or salary slip and my net worth at that time was under 1 lakh.
My story -
I applied for the Smart Earn card about 2 years ago. They called and I refused to share them ITR (I'm self-employed) as it was not even more than 4 lakh at that time. No salary slips either. I asked for card-on-card method. They refused. I told them I can prove my income with my bank statement. They refused.So nothing happened on the application.
I wish the account aggregator concept catches on and banks give easy access to credit to self-employed people. It's really difficult for non-salaried people to get loans or credit card from banks etc. Even when they can prove their monthly income from bank statement.
