Kotak Mahindra Bank is preparing to resume credit card issuance after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lifted a nearly 10-month ban. Alongside this, rumors are circulating about the launch of a new super-premium credit card by the end of March. While the bank has not officially confirmed the news, reports on platforms like X suggest that Kotak is planning to introduce the Solitaire Credit Card, an exclusive invite-only offering for its high-net-worth customers, packed with luxury travel and lifestyle perks.
