Kotak Debit Card lounge access offers select cardholders complimentary entry to airport lounges in India, adding comfort and convenience to their travel. This benefit is available on premium Kotak debit cards such as the Kotak Privy League or Platinum variants.

For instance, Sandeep, a business traveller from Bengaluru, holds a Kotak Privy League Platinum Debit Card. Over three months, he regularly used his card for shopping, travel bookings, and utility payments.

Since his quarterly spend crossed the required threshold, he became eligible for complimentary lounge access and used it at Bengaluru Airport.

Expense Type	Monthly Spend (₹)	Quarterly Total (₹)
Online Shopping	8,000	24,000
Travel & Cab fares	6,000	18,000
Utility Bills	3,000	9,000
Total		₹51,000

Sandeep’s total quarterly spend of ₹51,000 qualified him for lounge access. Always review your card’s terms to ensure eligibility, as conditions may differ.

Present your debit card – At the lounge, the staff will ask you to swipe your card for verification.
Swipe your card for ₹2 – A nominal ₹2 charge will be made to confirm your card's eligibility.
Enter and enjoy the lounge – If your card has available free access, you can use the lounge without extra charges.
