    I just found this information. Hope it helps Indians having difficulty getting a credit card to verify Paypal account. Btw someone also mentioned if you have LIC policy you can get the SBI credit card easily.

    http://www.sbicard.com/sbi/ISBIEligCriteria.html#details

    No income documents required.

    You also have the convenience of simplified documentation if you apply online.

    If you have a landline number at your residence, then just attach the following with your SBI Card Application (in lieu of the normal documentation):

    The latest bi-monthly or monthly bill issued (the bill should not be more than 75 days old) by the basic telephony provider for the residence landline number furnished in the application form.

    The bill amount should be Rs. 1500/- or above

    If the residence and office address is the same, then the bill amount should be Rs. 3000/- and above



    :D:p:)

    If your dad has a credit card you can ask him to get an additional card in your name. This doesnt require any documents or eligibility except it has to be applied by the main card holder and only for immediate relatives like children, spouse, parents

    Or if you got Rs 20000 to deposit for two years you can get a secured credit card from AxisBank. You will be allowed spending limit of 80% of the deposit (can be increased if you deposit more money)

    (more information on links at right side)

    In this axix bank CC whether the money(CC Balance) would be deducted from this initial deposit or we have to pay that too and the 20k deposit will remain there for ever as a security.

    Citibank also offering credit card without documents. You have to get a Income Tax PAN code though. Applying for PAN requires address proof and id proof like passport, driving license, utility bills etc.

    Welcome to Citibank Credit Cards - For the first time in India, Credit Card application goes completely online!

    Filling up the PAN is mandatory.

    https://www.online.citibank.co.in/portal/citiin/forms/citi_focuscards_index.jsp?eOfferCode=IHSO1L12


    One more weird requirement: they need official email id and not personal email id. But they got Housewife, Student and Retired in nature of job....so how does a housewife get an official email id ? wife@kitchen.com or wife@bedroom.com ? :D

    That deposit is for two years fixed term deposit which earns an interest. Obviously if you disappear without paying up the credit card dues they will deduct it from the deposit. That is why it is known as secured credit card.

    On applying they will ask you to sign a letter of lien and letter of pledge which authorises them to close the deposit and take the money. Basically it means you are pledging the deposit as security just like how you pledge any other asset as colateral security for a bank loan.
