Quick Analysis

The HDFC Business Regalia Credit Card is a solid choice for self-employed professionals who want to earn reward points on business expenses while enjoying premium perks like lounge access and concierge services. The 4 RPs per Rs. 150 rate is decent, and the milestone bonuses add good value for high spenders. However, the recent reduction in insurance benefits and the new spending requirement for lounge access have diminished its overall value proposition compared to earlier versions.

Pros

  • Strong reward rate of 4 RPs per Rs. 150 including insurance and utility spends
  • 8 domestic + 6 international lounge visits per year via Priority Pass
  • 24x7 concierge services for travel and entertainment
  • Annual fee waiver on Rs. 3 Lakh spend
  • Milestone bonus of up to 15,000 reward points annually

Cons

  • High forex markup of 3.5% makes it poor for international spending
  • Insurance benefits reportedly discontinued from April 2025
  • Domestic lounge access now requires Rs. 1 Lakh quarterly spend
  • No welcome benefits currently offered

Best For

Self-employed business professionals seeking lounge access, reward points on business expenses, and 24x7 concierge services with a manageable annual fee.

Not Ideal For

Salaried individuals (card is only for self-employed), frequent international spenders (3.5% forex markup is high), and those seeking cashback instead of reward points.

Conclusion

The HDFC Business Regalia Credit Card is a well-rounded business credit card for self-employed professionals who value lounge access, reward points, and concierge services. With 4 Reward Points per Rs. 150 spent (including on insurance and utilities), 8 domestic and 6 international lounge visits, and milestone bonuses worth up to Rs. 7,500, it offers strong value for business spenders.

The Rs. 2,500 + GST annual fee is easily waived with Rs. 3 Lakh annual spend, making it effectively free for most business users. However, the 3.5% forex markup makes it less suitable for international transactions, and the recent changes to lounge access requirements (Rs. 1 Lakh quarterly spend needed from April 2025) and potential discontinuation of insurance benefits have reduced its overall appeal compared to earlier versions.

Best suited for self-employed business professionals with annual ITR exceeding Rs. 12 Lakh who want to earn rewards on their business expenses while enjoying airport lounge access.
