RuPay Platinum Debit Card – Lounge Access - Did your Bank send Message ?

-


         

          NPCI has informed to RuPay Debit Card Issuers that there has been a change to the Airport Lounge Access rules  w.e.f from July 1st, 2024.

          The changes are major, and all the eligible cardholders should be aware of the change in the rules. Otherwise, they will end being a bit shocked at the Lounge counters.

          So, folks be aware of the changes.

          Well, it would be awesome if the periodic changes reflect in the respective bank’s Mobile Banking Apps under Debit Card current features.

          As it is the changes are made at the program level, so should not be a major challenge.

          Any ideas, folks.

          NPCI offers two variants of RuPay Debit Cards i.e Classic and Platinum.

          The revised rules are as under:

 

Kindly be informed that w.e.f 1s t July, 2024, the lounge access program for all variants of Rupay Platinum Debit Card has been revised as under –

a. 1 (One) Domestic Airport / Railway lounge access per quarter.

b. 2 (Two) International airport lounge access per annum.

 

The updated list of lounges is available on – https://www.rupay.co.in/lounges

The NPCI website states: “The RuPay Lounge Access Program is applicable for the RuPay Platinum and Select Debit Cardholder and you can use it to gain access: -

The old rules:

> Domestic – two complimentary visits per quarter at any of the participating lounges

> International - two visits per year on the participating lounges.”

 

There is a charge of Rs 2 for Airport Lounge access for authorisation of the card.

There is no change in the INR2/- authorisation charges.

          Many banks in India Issue RuPay Debit Cards and these lounge access rules are the same for all the Bank RuPay Debit Card holders.

          Of course, each bank has their own rules which must be fulfilled by the account holders before they are eligible for the lounge access.

          NPCI has advise Issuers to inform these changes through bank’s communication channels including but not limited to welcome kits, Emails, SMS and website.
