An airline credit card makes travel more rewarding by offering exclusive perks such as discounts, loyalty points, and partner benefits. For many, these cards are the gateway to affordable flights, upgrades, and stress-free journeys across India and abroad.

Yet, the challenge has always been eligibility. Traditional issuers often demand income proof and an established credit history. Thankfully, the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card shows that even without income proof, you can access an airline credit card designed for frequent flyers.

Can you get a credit card without income proof?
 

Students, homemakers, freelancers, and retirees often hesitate when applying for cards. Most banks insist on payslips, income tax returns, or high CIBIL scores. These requirements limit access for many who want to enjoy travel benefits.

This is where the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card provides a breakthrough solution.

The fixed deposit (FD) route: A smart alternative
 

Instead of presenting income proof, you can use an FD as security. This approach removes traditional roadblocks and ensures almost instant approval.

  • FD acts as collateral for the credit card
  • No need for income documents or credit score
  • Quick approval once KYC is completed

With this model, anyone can enjoy the benefits of an airline credit card.

Why choose the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card?
 

Looking for travel perks, flexibility, and unmatched IndiGo benefits? The IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card offers premium features, even without income proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FD locked?

Yes, the FD remains locked with IDFC FIRST Bank as long as the credit card is active. It acts as security for your card. Once the FD is closed, the card gets terminated, and the FD amount (plus interest earned) is refunded.

Can I close the FD later?

You can close the FD anytime, but this will automatically cancel your credit card. The principal amount and any interest earned will be returned. If you want to keep using the card, the FD must remain active during the entire usage period.

Is there a credit limit cap?

The credit limit is directly linked to your FD amount. For the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card, a minimum FD of ₹1 lakh is required. The limit typically equals or is a percentage of the FD value, ensuring responsible usage and reduced risk.
