The credit card toolkit for India.
avhishek.in is an independent website for people who use credit cards in India. It collects the things that are tedious to find on bank websites (helplines, escalation contacts and bill-payment details for 26 issuers) next to firsthand card reviews and the cards Abhishek Meena actually holds.

Home avhishek.in
One search box across banks, cards, helpline numbers and reviews, with live counts and a way into every tool. Press / to jump to it.
Credit card portfolio cards.avhishek.in
The 51 cards from 22 issuers that Abhishek holds, grouped by bank. Search by card, bank or use case, or narrow the list to lifetime-free, RuPay, cashback or partner cards.
Card reviews /card-reviews
Long-form reviews written from use, not press releases: rewards, fees, exclusions and the fine print. Currently HSBC Live+, Eternal SBI and the Slice Business card.
Bank support directory /bank-support
Customer care numbers and complaint emails for 26 card issuers, laid out in the order you should escalate: customer care, the nodal officer, the principal nodal officer, and finally the RBI Ombudsman.
Credit card bill payment /pay-credit-card-bill
How to pay each of the 26 issuers from another bank: NEFT and IMPS details, UPI ID formats, app and net-banking paths, and how long each method takes to post. Each bank's details link to the official pages they came from.
Features
- Search everywhere it helps. Site-wide search on the homepage, plus dedicated search on the portfolio, bank support (bank, number or email) and bill payment (bank, IFSC or UPI) pages.
- Copy and tap. One-click copy for IFSC codes, UPI formats, numbers and emails; tap-to-call and tap-to-email on phones.
- Sourced data. Payment details are read from each bank's own website or documents, with a source link and a visible "checked on" date.
- Light and dark themes. The first visit follows the system setting; the choice is remembered after that.
- Built for phones. Layouts scale down to small screens, where navigation moves to a bottom tab bar.
- Accessible by default. Skip links, visible keyboard focus, labelled controls, and reduced motion when the system asks for it.
How it's built
avhishek.in is a static site with no framework and no build step in production.
| Layer | What it uses |
|---|
| Pages | Hand-written HTML. Each page is a standalone file with its own header, footer and theme script. |
| Styling | Plain CSS built on design tokens in assets/site.css, with self-hosted Geist and Geist Mono variable fonts. Themes switch via data-theme on <html>. |
| Behaviour | Vanilla JavaScript. Card, contact and payment data live in plain JS files under assets/. |
| Reviews grid | The one compiled piece: React 19 with Motion and Lucide icons in src/, bundled by esbuild into a committed file, assets/card-reviews-react.js. |
| Hosting | Vercel serves the repository root as-is. vercel.json handles clean URLs, the cards.avhishek.in host rewrite, redirects and security headers. |

Run it locally
The preview server is plain Node with no dependencies, so viewing the site needs no install.
git clone https://github.com/theavhishek/abhishek-credit-cards.git
cd abhishek-credit-cards
pnpm dev # or: node preview-server.mjs
It runs at http://localhost:3000. Locally, / opens the card portfolio and the homepage is at /home; production routing and headers from vercel.json are not applied.
Only changes to the reviews grid in src/ need dependencies and a rebuild:
pnpm install
pnpm build:reviews # writes assets/card-reviews-react.js; commit it with your change
Working on the site
- When a CSS or JS file changes, bump its
?v= query in every page that loads it.
- The header and footer are repeated in each HTML page, so a navigation change goes into every page.
- Card, contact and payment data change only from the bank's official source.
- Affiliate links are always labelled. The full rules are in
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md.
Independence and accuracy
avhishek.in is maintained independently by Abhishek Meena. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any bank, card issuer or payment network it mentions, and nothing on it is financial advice. Some pages may carry affiliate links; each one is labelled, as explained in the disclaimer.
Contact details, card terms and payment instructions change. Check anything important with the issuer's official website or app before you act on it. Bank names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners.
