Closing a credit card in India requires 5 steps + a specific customer-care number per bank. RBI mandates closure within 7 working days of request. Pick your bank below for the exact process, customer-care number, and CIBIL-impact decision tree.
Editorial position: We publish these guides because we believe in informed cardholder choice. For most users, downgrading to a lifetime-free card beats closing outright — preserves CIBIL history, stops annual fees, retains account-age benefit. Each guide explains the downgrade path alongside the closure process.
