best card for govt transaction

[risingnitish]

hello,
Just want to know best cards to use for government transactions.
I am assuming income tax payments, stamp duty, registration, property tax payment etc. in government transactions.
I have Magnus, business regalia, icici emarlde , hdfc marriot . If there's no good option from these cards, I would go for other if they give good rewards.

icici emralde will give and magnus will also give
go for emralde or magnus

Can we pay at incometax and expect rewards using Apay card? Is there any preferred way and is it 1% or 2%.
P.S. I read earlier that it does not give but if there is any changes to this then I am not aware of it.

Tried with a small amount of advance tax payment using Apay CC through HDFC payment gateway. Was charged 0.8%+GST for PG and didn't recieve any cashback as the transaction settled in app.

Old Magnus & Magnus Burgundy don't give any points for government transactions.

No (3 words)

Transactions for the purchase of fuel, gold, silver, any precious metal, any Tax-related payments will not be eligible for Reward Points.

Best card for Govt payments is YES bank Reserv (2.5% with 3x subscription) or Marquee card (1.25%).

What about IDFC wealth, Mayura and Ashva?

StanC ultimate also gives rewards, keeping aside redemption issues

ICICI Amazon Pay & Axis Ace both CCs do NOT give any CB for Govt Payments ... IDFC does not consider these spends under 10X benefits ...

 

[bhanvadia]

HSBC Premier and SC Ultimate are good. But nothing substantial.

 

[Axelblaze]

AU Xcite Ultra if the payment is 5k, you get approx 4.5% CB

Recently switched from business regalia to biz black.

i don't think anything is better than Biz Black when it comes to government transactions. 3.33% RP +7500 bonus points monthly if you cross 50k. 1RP=1Rs

Does AU Xcite Ultra unlocks 2 lounge per quarter after spending more than 20K on insurance premium payment. I have spend about 38K on LIC payments and it has been over 7 days but i cant see lounge access being activated. Does this payment not considered as a retail spent.
