Terms the calculator does not value

  • The card is discontinued: HDFC accepts no new applications and migrates holders on replacement or renewal. The calculator values it as if issued today.
  • The launch offers (3% cashback on all non-EMI spends to 30 September 2022 and 1% on supplier payments to 30 September 2022) have ended and are not entered. The page still describes them.
  • The 5% business-essentials cashback is entered as a cashback currency; the page does not say how it is paid.
