About this tool
CardCheck's free cards eligibility checker helps you evaluate your approval odds for 150+ Indian credit cards—including top issuers like SBI, HDFC, and ICICI—online and without a hard inquiry. By entering basic parameters like your monthly income, age, employment status, and estimated credit score range, our algorithm provides an instant credit card eligibility check.
While some entry-level and FD-backed cards can be issued without a credit history, most unsecured credit cards in India require a CIBIL score of 720 or higher. Premium cards (like HDFC Infinia or SBI Elite) usually demand a score above 750 and a strong repayment track record.
If you need a card urgently, look for "instant approval cards". These are usually offered to existing customers of a bank (pre-approved offers for ICICI or HDFC salary accounts) or via secured credit cards backed by a Fixed Deposit (like IDFC First WOW), which have zero eligibility criteria and 100% approval rates.
