Main earn rates

  • Dining and flights, 8 points per ₹100 (up to 5,000 points a statement): 8 AU reward points per ₹100 (about 1.6% at cash value)

Earns nothing on

  • No points on fuel, rent, wallet, cash, education, government, EMI and tolls
  • No points on railways (transportation)

Terms the calculator does not value

  • The 8-point rate also covers tax payments (MCC 9311, 7276), software purchases (5734, 5045) and online-travel-agency airline and hotel bookings (4722, 4723), which have no matching category here and earn the base 2 points. For a chartered accountant paying tax or buying software this understates the card.
  • MCC 9311 (tax) is listed both as an 8-point category and in the education and government exclusion; it is treated as excluded here.
  • The 25% ICAI membership cashback (once a year, on the fee before GST) is not valued.
  • No document states a redemption value for AU CA; ₹0.20 is the 2023 voucher rate for all AU cards.
  • Local commute (MCC 4111) and BBPS earn nothing but have no category here and are valued at the base rate.
