However, the banks have now revised their credit card terms and conditions, pursuant to which all the cards would be blocked if there is a payment default on even one.

The country's largest private sector lender, ICICI Bank, has already informed its customers about the change, coming into effect from October 5, while other banks will soon follow the suit.

As per the new terms, if a customer holds two or more cards and defaults in making payments in one of the card accounts, "ICICI Bank is authorised to block the credit limit as made available to the card member under all other ICICI Bank's card accounts as well as withdraw such privileges/benefits as made available under all such card accounts, till such time the defaulting card account is regularised by the card member."
