- Source file: Axis Bank domestic lounge program PDF (Set B). - Domestic lounge access is linked to card-wise quarterly/yearly limits. - Base spend criteria: INR 50,000 in previous 3 calendar months; waived for Reserve/Burgundy/Olympus/Primus/Horizon/Atlas as per source file. Policy override notes: • Axis official lounge access program file lists Atlas in Set B domestic lounge program. • Spend-gate is explicitly waived for Atlas in current Axis policy document. • Axis PDF explicitly waives the INR 50,000 previous-3-month domestic lounge spend criteria for Atlas. • Atlas visit limits follow current Axis product terms; domestic access uses participating Set B lounges in Axis file. • Guest access is generally paid unless included in card-specific Axis benefits; verify latest Atlas terms. • Confirm Atlas international lounge mechanics (Priority Pass or partner network) from latest Axis card terms. Verify latest spend criteria and guest access with issuer before travel.
