At Vijay Sales, the same model bank offers can push the effective price lower. American Express card EMI users can get up to Rs 7,500 off, while HDFC and ICICI card users can save up to Rs 4,000 and Rs 3,000 respectively. You can also checkout exchange offers that can further reduce the final amount depending on the model and condition of your old phone.
But if the premium flagship is on your target, then the iPhone 17 Pro is also part of Republic Day deals, especially if you’re buying directly from Apple.
