Our verdict

SBI Card UNNATI is the most accessible credit card from SBI — a low income requirement and no annual fee for the first four years make it a practical first card. The RuPay network adds UPI credit card capability. Rewards are thin (about 0.25% value) but it serves as a credit-building tool.

Pros

  • Low income threshold of ₹12,000 a month
  • RuPay network enables UPI credit card payments
  • Fuel surcharge waiver at any petrol pump on transactions of ₹500–₹3,000 (capped at ₹100 a month)
  • No annual fee for the first four years; ₹499 from the fifth year

Cons

  • Rewards rate is very low — 1 point per ₹100 spent (about 0.25% value)
  • No category rewards and no lounge access
  • ₹499 annual fee from the fifth year with minimal reward offset
  • Limited appeal beyond credit score building
