Terms the calculator does not value
- The secured card is not sold through a product page of its own: the fees, features and the FD lien terms come from the MITC and KFS, which list "Tiga Secured" beside its unsecured version. The application form (Jan 2026) carries the FD lien declaration. Lounge access and the lost card liability cover, shown on the Tiga product page, are not stated for the secured version and are not entered.
- The joining and annual fee waivers on spend (and the First Year Free option) are stated for the unsecured card; Equitas does not say they apply to the secured version, so none is entered.
- The fixed deposit keeps earning its deposit interest while it secures the card; that interest is not part of the card's value.
- 3X points on contactless payments cannot be matched (the model has no contactless condition), and Pay by 3 merchants without a merchant file are not matched; the Tiga rules are copied from the unsecured card.
