EazyDiner IndusInd Bank Signature Credit Card Quick Overview
| **Card type** | Mid card |
|---|---|
| **Best for** | Someone comparing within IndusInd's range |
| **Joining / renewal fee** | ₹2,999 + GST, same on renewal |
| **Network** | Visa |
| **Base reward rate** | **6.0%** |
| **Reward currency** | IndusInd Reward Points, valued at ₹0.6 each |
| **Lounge access** | None published |
| **Forex markup** | 3.5% |
Reward Structure: How You Earn
10 Reward Points per ₹100 spent — 6% at the ₹0.60 non-cash redemption rate.
The point value depends on which IndusInd card you hold
IndusInd sets the Reward Point value per card, and splits it by redemption type — non-cash redemptions are worth more than cash:
| Card | Non-cash | Cash |
|---|---|---|
| Iconia, Signature Visa | **₹0.75** | ₹0.50 |
| Platinum Visa, Master, Select, RuPay | ₹0.60 | ₹0.40 |
| Platinum Aura | **₹0.35** | not published |
Two IndusInd cardholders earning the same number of points do not hold the same value — a point is more than twice as valuable on Iconia as on Platinum Aura. Every percentage in this review uses the card's own non-cash rate, which is the maximum IndusInd publishes.
| Spend | Effective rate |
|---|---|
| Everything else | 6.0% |
| Fuel, rent, wallet loads, government, gaming | **0%** |
IndusInd's fee model is a one-time joining fee, not an annual one
This is easy to misread. Legend (₹5,000), Nexxt (₹10,000), Platinum RuPay (₹10,000), Pinnacle (₹15,000) and Pioneer Legacy (₹50,000) all charge a substantial joining fee and then nil every year after. A renewal fee of ₹0 on those cards is a published fact, not missing data.
The cards that do charge annually — Pioneer Heritage and Pioneer Private ₹25,000, Crest and Indulge ₹10,000, Indus Solitaire ₹10,000, Celesta ₹5,000 — waive it on ₹10 lakh of spend in the last anniversary year.
Foreign currency markup, by card
| Cards | Markup |
|---|---|
| **Pioneer Heritage, Pioneer Private, Indus Solitaire** | **Waived — 0%** |
| Tiger; Avios at preferred destinations | 1.5% |
| Legend, Club Vistara Explorer, Indulge, paid Pioneer Legacy | 1.8% |
| Everything else, and complimentary Pioneer Legacy cards | 3.5% |

Over-limit is 2.5% (minimum ₹500), returned payments ₹250, cash advance 2.5% (minimum ₹300) — the last waived on eight cards including Indulge, both Pioneers, Avios and Samman.

Is the EazyDiner IndusInd Bank Signature Credit Card Worth It?
10 REWARD POINTS PER ₹100 IS 6% AT THE NON-CASH REDEMPTION RATE — the highest published rate in IndusInd's range by a wide margin, and one of the highest in this dataset. At the ₹0.40 cash rate it is 4%.
NO CEILING IS PUBLISHED for the band in the scraped sources. On a 6% rate that is the most important missing figure on the card — unknown rather than uncapped.
₹2,999 JOINING AND ₹2,999 ANNUAL with no waiver published. This is one of the few IndusInd cards that charges the same fee every year rather than a one-time joining fee.
