Self-employed with ITR of 28Lac : Need help to get premium credit card : Infinia /Biz black /EPM

[slow-traveller-007]

Hi everyone,
I have been self-employed for the past 1.5 years in software consulting, with an ITR of ₹28L, GST registration and CIBIL score is 800+.

Previously, I held the Axis Magnus card, but I closed it after 2 years once it was devalued. Currently, I hold the one card, Scapia card and the ICICI Sapphiro card-LTF .

I have my salary account with ICICI for the last 9 years, and despite monthly credits of over ₹4L (pre-tax), my RM is not supporting my request for an EPM, stating I’m not eligible.

I also tried reaching out to the ICICI contact via Twitter, but didn’t get any success for EPM.

Most of my spending is on flights, hotels, subscriptions, and advance tax since I travel solo quite often.

Does anyone have a contact or recommendation for applying to a premium credit card?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, you should go for BizBlack and Regalia Gold.

You can try moving up the ladder from RG, though it may take some time and a lot of back & forth with their grievance cell for upgradation.

No ULIP 😅. I’ll give the Biz Black card a try first. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll go for the Regalia.

I think it is possible as a floater card. I read a few posts regarding the same on this platform.

Team,

I'm salaried, but also have a rental income on which I pay gst (around 52K) and file returns and also pay advance tax(75k to 100k) every quarter for total income. Only 25% of my annual income is salaried while rest is rental income. I

I have HDFC Infinia, Tata Neu Rupay and Swiggy card (took in July 24). All share a combined limit of 15L.

Am interested in Biz Black card and tried to apply online initially and it showed a message that I recently applied for a card. Assuming it's Swiggy card, how long should I wait before trying again. Later approached my branch manager.

BizBlack is a good option. Later can try for DCB M as floater for upgrade to Infinia later.
HSBC very difficult for self employed and almost impossible.

Yes, I am checking for the BizBlack card only, as last year's ITR was 31L. Maybe I will qualify based on last year's ITR.
I will update here once I receive any update from HDFC. Meanwhile, thanks for the recommendations.
