Should I apply for a new credit card or not?

Hi all,

I have 5 credit cards but I dont have any Rupay variant. I want to apply for one but the problem is related to number of enquiries in my CIBIL report.

My credit profile is almost 4 years old and I have 14 enquiries till date. Out of those 14, 13 are in the last 3 months alone - 8 in October, 4 in November and 1 in December. I feel if I apply for a new credit card now, there is a high chance of it getting rejected due to ths reason.

What would you suggest -
  1. Apply for the new credit card now
  2. Wait another month or two before applying

Thanks

Which cards you currently have? Maybe if Rupay variant of your current card already exists, you can convert from existing network without additional cibil hit.

From what I gathered from the forums, the Tata Neucard Rupay variant seems to offer the best returns (maybe). I have the Visa variant of this card. So was looking at other options like the Kotak League Rupay or the ones from Bank of Baroda or PNB ones.
If you apply now for Kotak league you would instantly get it ..

You can apply now for your Kotak league card and can thank me later..
This no of enquiries is over rated..
You already have history of 4 years..

Best wishes
