Facility Linked to Spending

However, the facility has not been completely discontinued. Now, airport lounge access will be linked to the cardholder’s spending. From April 15, 2026, access to domestic airport lounges will only be granted if a minimum specified amount has been spent in the previous quarter.

According to this new rule, if you want to avail of free lounge access, you will have to spend at least Rs. 5,000 in the previous quarter. This means that free entry to the lounge by simply showing the card, as was possible before, will no longer be available.

This change by PNB will directly affect RuPay Platinum debit cardholders, especially those who previously availed of free airport lounge access without any spending requirements.
