Where the sources disagree

  • cashback value per point: MITC v4.15 and the product page say 15 paise a point for Business Regalia; HDFC's rewards redemption form says "Upto Re. 0.20". The MITC and page are used.
  • lounge benefits: The product FAQ says 12 domestic visits a year via Priority Pass; the benefits section and HDFC's April 2025 and January 2026 notices say 2 a quarter on ₹1 lakh of spend by voucher. The notices are used.

Terms the calculator does not value

  • The card is closed to new applicants; the calculator values it as if issued today. HDFC gives no closing date.
  • The page says "Maximum of 500 reward points can be earned in a calendar month on UPI spends through RuPay Credit Card"; no network is stated for the card, so the UPI cap is not modelled.
  • The page's FAQ still says 12 complimentary domestic lounge visits a year and 6 abroad; the April 2025 letter replaced the domestic part with 2 a quarter on ₹1 lakh of spend. Insurance covers (air accident ₹1 crore, overseas hospitalisation ₹15 lakh, flight delay and missed connection ₹25,000 each) ended on 1 April 2025.
  • SmartBuy column: the chart names "Regalia, Diners Privilege, BizPower" (snapshot 351, line 10), not Business Regalia, so the card is entered in the "Other credit card (CashBack)" column (5% or 10% CashBack, ₹1,000 a month), as are Doctor's Regalia and Regalia Activ. If HDFC treats Business Regalia as "Regalia", it would earn 5X/10X points capped at 4,000 a month (lines 156-158) instead.
