So If I apply for a debit card, should I pay for both 199+GST for the physical card and virtual card or only one charge of 199+GST for one year?
@Raswanth_Jayaprakash I suppose it’s Rs.199 for both the physical and the digital card. Especially considering both the card numbers are the same.
Only 1 charge
Hai @Raswanth_Jayaprakash Welcome to the community.
I think you need to pay fee only for Physical card as @alexnazy said.
But, annual fee of ₹199 + GST **will be levied for the first time from March 2024 onwards for both Virtual card and Debit card
Edit: Thanks Jiten Boss for the clarification ![]()
Let’s not forget there are milestones that are put in place for the fee to get waived.
@yagnesh01 My mistake…I forgot to add that section in my post and thanks for the reminder sir ![]()
@Raswanth_Jayaprakash You can refer this link/post for any info regarding Annual fee waiver ![]()
Let it be simple!
Issuance charges 299+gst always for physical cards.
Annual charges 199+gst for both in case of Jupiter.
Thanks everyone for the helpful clarification. Let me summarise it in a simple and clear way:
-
Physical Debit Card Issuance Fee: ₹299 + GST (one-time, applicable when you request a physical card)
-
Annual Charges: ₹199 + GST (applicable for both virtual and physical cards starting from March 2024)
-
Fee Waiver: Jupiter has set specific usage milestones, and if those are met, the annual fee can be waived
So in short, while the physical card comes with a one-time issuance fee, both virtual and physical cards will attract annual charges unless you meet the waiver conditions.
It’s always a good idea to review the latest official communication or terms to stay updated on any changes in charges or eligibility criteria.
