Where the sources disagree
- Minimum fixed deposit: The Prime page says guaranteed issuance "against FD of Rs. 30000 or more"; its features block says "Min. FD amount of ₹15,000". No minimum is entered.
- Age range: The Prime page's application block gives 18 to 85 years for the primary cardholder; its features block says 21 to 65 years. The application block is entered.
Terms the calculator does not value
- Food delivery apps (Swiggy, Zomato) are assumed to be fast food, MCC 5814, and so excluded from all points.
- Other MCCs that earn nothing and have no calculator category: agriculture, contractors, the transportation MCCs 4111, 4131 and 4789, personal and civic services (7211, 7230, 7276, 7349, 8111, 8641), hospitals (8011, 8062; our health category also holds pharmacies and is not excluded) and charity (8398, 8661). Transactions under ₹100 earn nothing.
