SBI Card ELITE: product record
This URL is retained for people looking up an older catalogue entry. It is not an application recommendation or a current fee quote.
What needs to be reconciled
SBI's current portfolio page advertises a ₹5,000 welcome voucher, movie tickets worth ₹6,000/year and up to 50,000 bonus points/year advertised at ₹12,500. Current MITC lists the ₹4,999 + tax standard renewal fee and ₹10L eligible preceding-year waiver. The issuer-hosted ELITE booklet is an older document; it describes 10 points/₹100 on dining, groceries and departmental stores with a shared 10,000-point calendar-month accelerated cap, but does not establish today's complete earning, exclusion, offer, network, lounge or redemption rules. Do not convert all points into cash or use the legacy flat-rate estimate until current card-specific terms are reconciled.

If you already hold this card
Match the name and issuer on your statement to the exact product variant. Renewal fees can differ from joining fees or a personalised lifetime-free offer. Check the reward table attached to that variant and any later change notice before estimating rewards.
Keep reward points separate from their redemption value. A points multiplier needs an eligible merchant category, an earning-period cap and a redemption route. A fuel surcharge waiver or conditional lounge voucher is not a cash reward on every transaction.
