ICICI Bank Parakram Select Credit Card

The ICICI Bank PARAKRAM SELECT Credit Card is made for JAWANS in the Indian Army and other defense forces. It helps them access funds when needed and earn rewards on daily spending. Cardholders get 5X reward points on groceries, department stores, and CSD purchases. They also enjoy free airport and railway lounge access every year, plus free golf rounds by reaching monthly spending targets. There are no joining or annual fees—just simple eligibility criteria.

This credit card is a way to support soldiers for their service. It provides financial help during emergencies and daily expenses while offering extra perks on shopping, travel, and dining.
