Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Infinia Metal joining fee?

The joining and annual fee is ₹12,500 + GST (total ₹12,500 as GST is included in the quoted fee). HDFC often waives the first-year fee for select HNI and salary account customers — confirm with your relationship manager.

Can I transfer Infinia reward points to airline miles?

Yes. Points can be transferred to Air India (Flying Returns), Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, InterMiles (IndiGo), and Club Vistara — via the HDFC SmartBuy portal. Transfer ratio is 1 RP = 0.5 air miles for most programs.

Is the Infinia Metal available to all HDFC customers?

No. It is available by invite only to select HDFC customers — typically those with a high net worth, large HDFC deposits, or significant credit card spending history with HDFC.
