There is no joining fee. A chip maintenance fee of Rs 1,150 a year applies to every card. The Key Fact Statement says government levies and taxes, including FED (federal excise duty), are charged on top.
Spend the amount in the table within 1 month of activating the card, then call the call centre. The Key Fact Statement says the fee applies from the first year and is reduced once you’ve met the retail spending. It is a cut, not a full waiver: Classic still costs Rs 1,200.
Supplementary cards work the same way. Classic drops from Rs 2,000 to Rs 1,000 on Rs 25,000 of spending, and Signature from Rs 8,000 to Rs 7,200 on Rs 1.5 lakh.
If your salary goes into a JS Bank account through Employee Banking, the first year’s fee is reversed with no spending rule. The card must be activated and your first salary credited within three months of the card being issued.
As of the July to December 2026 schedule, JS Bank charges:
| Charge | Rate or fee |

You get up to 51 days interest-free on purchases if you clear the full balance by the due date. If you pay only the minimum or part of the bill, service charges run from the transaction date. The minimum payment is 5% of each part of the balance (purchases, cash, fees and markup) plus any installment and over-limit amount, or Rs 500, whichever is higher.
JS Bank has two installment products, priced by length in the July to December 2026 schedule:
| Plan | 12 months | 24 months | 36 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card Instalment Plan (purchases) | 32% a year | 34% a year | 36% a year |
| Cash on Instalment (cash from your limit) | 40% a year | 42% a year | 44% a year |
The Card Instalment Plan has a processing fee of Rs 1,000 or 1% of the amount. Closing a plan early costs Rs 1,000 or 5%, whichever is higher. The schedule takes the 5% of the booking amount, while the Key Fact Statement says 5% of the principal still owed.
Cash on Instalment lets you take up to 75% of your limit as cash and repay it monthly, according to the product page. You can also buy products through JS Smart on installments; JS Bank’s October 2026 newsletter advertised the iPhone 18 Pro this way. For how card installment plans compare across banks, see credit card installment plans.
JS Bank’s credit card page lists these limits as of 22 October 2026: Rs 99,999 on Classic, Rs 349,999 on Gold and up to Rs 3 million on Platinum. The same page mentions limits of up to Rs 4 million in its benefits list without naming a card, so we haven’t put a figure against Signature.
You can withdraw 50% to 75% of your available limit as cash on any card, according to the Key Fact Statement. An optional Excess Over Limit facility lets you go up to 5% over your limit, but each time you do, the Rs 1,500 over-limit fee applies.
The JS Student Credit Card has a limit of up to Rs 40,000 and no annual fee, according to JS Bank’s student card page.
The credit card page lists a minimum salary of Rs 70,000 a month. It doesn’t publish separate amounts for each card or rules for self-employed applicants. JS Bank’s FAQ says eligibility depends on your age, income, job and credit history.

To pay your bill automatically, JS Bank offers auto-debit from a JS Bank account on the due date, for the minimum or the full amount. You set it up by calling 021 111 654 321. Don’t also pay through another channel on the due date, or the bank may collect twice.
JS Bank charges Rs 450 or 5% of the transaction, whichever is higher, as of the July to December 2026 schedule. Compare other banks’ foreign charges in our credit cards compared guide.
The bank also collects advance income tax under section 236Y on card payments abroad. FBR’s rate card updated to 30 June 2026 sets it at 0.5% if you are on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and 1% if you are not. See filer vs non-filer.

Credit Protector is optional insurance from EFU Life, sold through JS Bank. It pays off your balance if you die in an accident or become permanently disabled, and pays you or your beneficiaries an equal amount. It costs 0.58% of your outstanding balance each month.
By our calculation, on a Rs 1 lakh statement balance that is Rs 580 a month. JS Bank asks for your consent on the application form, so you can leave it out.
