Where the sources disagree

  • Cap categories: The monthly caps in clause 11.4(h) (grocery 1,000; insurance, utilities, telecom and cable 2,000) are worded as limits on "accelerated categories as defined in section 11.3", which lists brands, not these categories. We read them as caps on the 1% rate for those categories. The product page states no caps.

Terms the calculator does not value

  • Tata Neu's NeuPass offers "extra value back as NeuCoins, up to 5% on select category spends at the Tata Neu App/Website" (product page and T&C 11.3(c), details on tataneu.com). The 5% is a Tata Neu offer and its categories and conditions are not in SBI's documents, so it is not entered.
  • NeuCoins are worth ₹1 only when spent at Tata Neu partners (not for cash or against card charges), so the valuation assumes the cardholder shops there.
  • NeuCoins accrue per SBI Card's monthly-reviewed merchant ID list; a partner brand missing from it earns the 1% rate, and NeuCoins due are withheld while the partner has not supplied correct IDs.
  • The T&C is inconsistent on the period of the 500 NeuCoin UPI cap: clause 11.3(e) says "per statement cycle", clause 11.4(h) lists UPI spends at 500 in a table headed "Maximum capping per month". We use the statement cycle.
