[Waynoway]

Last update: 10-04-24

• HDFC : Milestone benefits only
• HSBC Cashback: 0%
• AMEX Gold Charge: 1 MR/50 + Milestone benefits
• AMEX SmartEarn/ MRCC: Milestone benefits only
• AU Zenith: Milestone benefits only
• AU Zenith+: 1% + Milestone benefits
• ICICI APay: 1%
• SC Smart: 2%
• SC Ultimate: 2% (Govt. transaction)

Note: Mostly other cards from same bank works with varied reward rate and similar rule of exclusion.

Tip: IDFC, IndusInd, BOB provides better rewards using payzapp like prepaid card load (MCC: wallet) which you can use to pay NPS compared to direct payment where you'll get from 0.25% to 0.8% only on these cards.

For NPS payments MCC: 9399 (Govt. Services)

Do check both payment gateways Razorpay and Billdesk (above values are according to Billdesk gateway).

Also, do share missing cards rewards that you tried, will update accordingly.

PG Charges (with GST) on NPS website/app:

• VISA, Mastercard & AMEX = 0.885% (0.75% + GST)

Note: Above are for TIER 1. TIER 2 disabled credit card payments (based on latest available options).

If in doubt, always try test transaction and confirm with support. Things may chage any time, proceed with caution.

Haan sahi rahega.. decent card hai
I won't be able to fulfill 4L on plat travel so mrcc works fine.
And sometimes 5k ya 1.5k ka kuch aur spend ho jaata hai to next month defer kr deta hun

Right now there is some offer on all AU cards for nps and insurance payments. Wo bhi check kr lo ek baar.

Yes AU LIT offers rewards on nps payments currently promotional campaign till 31st jan
In spite of this, I feel AU LIT is an underrated card and it is a must have in cc collection, i would even rate it higher than au zenith.
Its all about using that card strategically to generate very high returns

IDFC select should work, but I would recommend getting AU card (ltf Xcite Ultra using swipe up via idfc select) or get AMEX MRCC.
I use these two for NPS as they have offers & good milestone.

This AU bank is Chut... they're rejecting the card because they're expecting me to be in office for office verification. I have permanent WFH who will go for this thing???

I am also working from home and I got is last week bro

They called and said distance between your office and home is more than 1000kms so are you working from home
I said yes, then they asked for consent from official email id and card approved after 2 days

No home or office verification (may be bcoz i had account with them)

Till yet I can see there is no condition for ICICI Amazon pay credit card to get 1%
