Access will be determined based on spending patterns, managed through the RuPay Benefit Management System (RBMS). Member banks and issuers will share details of eligible cardholders every quarter, ensuring that only those meeting the criteria can avail the lounge\u2019s benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Data Requirements for RuPay Cardholders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure smooth and accurate access to benefits, the NPCI has introduced a new data element requirement (DE 102) in the authorization response message for all RuPay transactions. The length of this data element will be increased from 19 digits to 30 digits, ensuring precise information exchange between issuers and acquirers. This update will ensure that RuPay cardholders can seamlessly enjoy benefits and rewards associated with their cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top Banks Offering Lounge Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the leading banks offering complimentary airport lounge access through RuPay credit cards include HDFC Bank, SBI Card, ICICI Bank, and IDFC FIRST Bank.
