Our verdict

Canara Bank RuPay Platinum is a basic government-bank credit card targeted at existing Canara account holders, with no joining or annual fee. The rewards are minimal at about 0.5% back as points, but the lifetime-free pricing and 4 complimentary domestic lounge visits a year make it a practical entry point for the PSU banking segment.

Pros

  • Lifetime free — no joining or annual fee
  • RuPay network with domestic and international acceptance
