3 Reasons Why You Should Get A Second Credit Card

Our financial lives now wouldn’t be the same without credit cards. They make our purchases simple and easy, and at the same time get us discounts, cashbacks and rewards. India has roughly 77 million active credit cards, which is more than the entire population of the United Kingdom.

But do you ever feel like you’re missing out on extra savings and offers because you only have one credit card? It’s time to start thinking about the advantages of having a second credit card.

Having a second credit card can not only help you build better credit, but you’ll also have more options for rewards and discounts. In this blog post, we’ll explore three reasons why you should get a second credit card.

Let’s go over the top 3 benefits of having a second credit card.

Earn More Rewards

One of the most significant benefits of having a second credit card is the opportunity to earn more rewards. Many credit cards provide various incentives, including cashback, points, and miles. By having two credit cards, you can use each for purchases that better align with their rewards program. For example, one card may offer higher rewards for groceries, while another may offer more for gas or travel expenses. By using both cards strategically, you can maximize the rewards you earn across your spendings.

Lower Credit Utilization Ratio

Another benefit of having a second credit card is that it can help to lower your credit utilization ratio.

Credit utilization ratio is the percentage of your available credit that is currently being used. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of credit you are currently using by the total amount of credit you have available.

With a second credit card, you have more available credit, which can help to lower your credit utilization ratio on each card, thereby helping you with improving your credit score.

Serve as a Backup

Lastly, having a second credit card can be an excellent backup plan in case of an emergency. Unexpected expenses can happen, and having a second credit card with a different credit limit and rewards program can provide a safety net.

Additionally, if one card has an issue, such as fraud or a lost card, you still have a backup card to use while the issue gets resolved.

While having a second credit card has its benefits, it’s essential to use them wisely.

Here are a few important tips to keep in mind before you make the decision of getting a second credit card:

  • Don’t overspend just to earn rewards.
  • Do not spend more than you have planned in your budget.
  • Pay off your balance each month to avoid interest charges and debt.
  • Choose a card that offers rewards that align with your lifestyle and spending habits.
  • Read the terms and conditions carefully before applying for a second credit card.

In conclusion, having a second credit card can offer several benefits, including the ability to earn more rewards, lower your credit utilization ratio, and serve as a backup plan. However, it’s essential to use credit cards responsibly and only apply for a second card if it aligns with your financial goals and budget.

Looking for a second credit card without incurring additional fees and charges. IndusInd Bank offer multiple Lifetime Free Credit Cards that allow you to maximise your benefits, indulging in premium lifestyle privileges all through the year at zero cost! Additionally, you can enjoy a host of lucrative offers when shopping for clothes and groceries, making dinner reservations, booking flight or movie tickets, and much more. Need a lifetime free credit card?

Pay your Income Tax Online through Credit Cards. Check Out How?

Over the last few years, the government has been actively trying to simplify filing of taxes and have made tax payments more accessible.

The Government of India has introduced an e-tax provision through which taxpayers can pay income tax on the e-filing portal. You can now pay your taxes through pay-at-bank counters, UPI, internet banking (RTGS/NEFT), and debit andcredit cards. In fact, credit card holders can claim additional tax benefits on payments.

As a credit cardholder, you might wonder how to pay taxes using your credit card. Well, read on to find out.

Payment of Tax through Credit Cards

The Government of India introduced cashless transactions to curb the use of unaccounted cash across the country. To further encourage non-cash transactions, it has proposed tax benefits to individuals using their credit cards to file income tax returns.

Cardholders can now benefit from quick and convenient transactions. At the same time, the government can stop the flow of counterfeit currency and reduce tax avoidance by individuals who find tax payments difficult.

While you can receive benefits on tax payments using your credit card, knowing what you can claim is equally important. We have listed all the benefits you can claim as an individual or as a merchant to help you understand better.

Benefits on paying Income Tax via a Credit Card

  • The online challan will include your unique Corporate Identity Number and can be downloaded at any time or printed for future reference.
  • Whether you are filing taxes as an individual or on behalf of your firm or company, you can do so online at any time of the day.
  • You can save on fuel surcharge on paying your taxes using your credit card.
  • You can claim tax rebates on paying your utility bills via cashless mode.
  • Merchants that facilitate tax payments using credit cards can claim reduced MDR (Merchant Discount Rate) charges from partner banks.
  • Merchants can receive tax rebates if they have performed 50% of their transactions through cashless modes of payment.

Given the slew of benefits that can be derived by paying taxes through your credit card, it is essential that you learn to use your card for tax payments. The good news is that it is quick and easy. All you have to do is follow these steps.

How to Pay Taxes using a Credit Card?

Step 1: Visit the TIN-NSDL website and log in.

Step 2: Select the Challan Application Number as directed. You can choose different types of challans, including ITNS 280, ITNS 281, ITNS 282 or ITNS 283.

Step 3: Provide your PAN card and TAN details as asked. These will be verified online.

Step 4: Post-authentication, you can fill in challan details, such as the name and address linked to the PAN/TAN, the partner bank details, the accounting head for the transaction, etc.

Step 5: Once the data is submitted, you will be prompted to confirm the entered data. Then, you will be directed to your partner bank’s Internet Banking platform.

Step 6: Now, you can log into your bank’s platform and pay your taxes using your credit card.

Step 7: Once the transaction is complete, you will receive a counterfoil with the CIN, banking details as well as the transaction amount.

It’s that simple!

How many types of current accounts are there in banks?

A current account is a type of bank account that is primarily used for business purposes. It is designed to facilitate frequent transactions and payments, and it allows you to make and receive payments using a variety of payment methods, including cheques, debit cards, and electronic transfers. Unlike a savings account, which is designed for long-term savings, a current account is used for day-to-day transactions, such as paying bills, making purchases, and receiving payments.

Overdrafts are extremely useful when faced with unforeseen cash flow issues or unexpected expenses. The overdraft facility can help bridge the gap between payments received and payments due, enabling you to manage their finances more effectively.

3. Cash Management: You can keep your cash safe in a current account, making it easy to monitor and control your cash flow. You can view your account balance and transaction history anytime to manage your finances proactively.

4. Creditworthiness: Having a current account can help you build creditworthiness. Banks use current accounts to assess the creditworthiness of a business. A good credit score is essential for businesses that want to borrow money or apply for credit in the future.

5. Professional Image: Having a current account can help your business project a professional image. A current account shows that your business is serious about its finances and is committed to managing its finances responsibly. It also demonstrates that the business is established and has a stable financial position.

Types of current accounts

There are different types of current accounts available in banks, and each one has its unique features and benefits. Choosing the right type of current account depends on your business needs and requirements. It is essential to research and compare different current account options before choosing the one that is best suited for your business.
