Earns nothing on

  • No cashback on wallet recharges, financial institutions, government, insurance, education, fuel, tolls, utilities, telecom (MCC 4814), rent and cash

Where the sources disagree

  • annual fee: The listing and product page call the card "lifetime-free*" with T&C; the KFS and MITC state an annual fee of ₹150 plus GST, waived on annual spends of ₹20,000. We use the KFS and MITC.

Terms the calculator does not value

  • The listing says the 0.5% cashback is "w.e.f 1-Aug" without a year, and publishes no earlier rate, so no dated earlier rule is entered.
  • The product page's comparison table says Platinum has "Flight Discounts & Lounge Access", but its offers list does not describe a lounge benefit; visit counts and limits are unknown, so no value is given to lounge access, merchant offers or insurance beyond the cover stated.
  • The deposit that backs the card earns the bank's FD interest (up to about 8.4% a year at launch); that interest is not part of the card's value. The deposit is lien-marked and can be set off against unpaid dues.
  • Cashback exclusions for charities, railway and transport are listed by MCC but do not map cleanly to a spend category and are not entered; the late payment fee is 1% of the amount payable or ₹250 whichever is lower, which the schedule cannot express.
