For most people, paying taxes is a drain. For HDFC BizBlack holders, it's an opportunity.
This is a super-premium business credit card designed for one specific purpose: Maximizing Business Spend.
With an annual fee of ₹10,000 + GST, it's not cheap. But if you pay over ₹10 Lakhs in taxes annually, this card is effectively free money.
Benefit 1: 5X Rewards on Taxes (The Killer Feature)
You earn 5X Reward Points on:
- Income Tax Payments.
- GST Payments.
- Bill Payments via PayZapp.
The Math: Usually, you get nothing for paying taxes. With BizBlack, you get accelerated points. These points can be transferred to miles or used for flight bookings.
💡 ROI Calculation
Pay ₹1 Lakh in GST -> Get ~1.65% to 3.3% effective value back in points (depending on redemption). That beats almost every other business card.
Benefit 2: Unlimited Lounge Access
Forget counting visits. You get Unlimited Domestic & International Lounge Access.
- Who gets it? Primary Cardholder AND Add-on Cardholders.
- Priority Pass: Included for international access.
Benefit 3: Metal Form Factor & Golf
It’s a metal card. It feels premium. It looks premium. You also get 6 Complimentary Golf Games per quarter globally.
