Amex for rent

VB7

TF Neo
Hi I have recently got the amex platinum card for paying rent under the impression that housing accepts amex for rent. Only to find out now that it accepts amex for education fees and people use this option to pay their rent.

I am concerned that if I do this and make the payment via education fees to my landlord or to my own account (and then UPI the money to landlord) then will it not show incorrect earnings on the landlord's or my pan card? I'm afraid it could lead to issues while filing ITR. Is there no risk attached here?

Step 1)
Load your MobiKwik using Plat Travel
you will incur ~ 3% charges for loading into MK,
some minor CB while loading using "Century" code.
1% CB for payment of CC bill using DC..

Step 2) Pay your into landlord's account directly from your MobiKwik Wallet. it is called UPI on Wallet( No charges for this)

After reaching milestones, you will be well infront..

ENjoy!!

For now, the 1% CB on DC is on hold... Hopefully when amex comes into BBPS, it still gives 1% on DC!

Btw SSV, can this mobikwik wallet on UPI be used to pay someone via QR (UPI) code ?
 
How much do you consider the value of 1MR point?

I understand that. Since you said you'll be well in front after milestones, I asked the value you had in mind. Not arguing

Is this still working? and would it count towards both MR points and Amex Plat Milestone of 4L?

Since this month only I have done a trnx of 45k I can share my experience I was also under this impression too it will treated as income from other source or anything you wanna name or includ into but with that said in your amex plat travel there would debit entry and credit entry and in your saving account with that said another debit entry to the landlord or whoever you're sending the money too now take gst invoice too(may be without this you could in trouble I won't be cause whoever I'm sending money is issuing me gst invoice) at the same time cause for me it for my business. Overall 2 debit and one credit entry. Only loss is the charges will be offset by plat milestone whenever you redeem. So why not use rent option instead I don't know but amex isn't supported or what if I use mobikwik instead once again your had done vkyc right? They already have your pancard it same thing. Check your AIS for better understanding this time I would also check and see the difference not sure if it reflected in ais or something else I also have ignored doing this from past 1.5 yr for the same thing. This could backfir, but it shouldn't for salaried folk it should same thing be cause your expense are in your credit card statement.
 
I used Housing app to pay my rent today. I paid under the 'Repairs' category and it went through. The fee is 3% and I got 1.5% back as cashback maybe because it was my first payment. Currently amex is acceptable for education and home service (repair, painting) categories.
