I need some AMEX card to start with. Is amex platinum free for first year, or should I got for amex gold?
None of the cards are free right now even with referrals. However you get MR points back using a referral link that compensate for the first year fees.

MRCC is free second year onwards if you spend 1.50 Lakhs in a year. Other cards like plat travel and Gold are a negotiation between you and CS.
 
Income tax = Govt. spends MCC

HDFC, AXIS, BOB = 0
IDFC = 3 RP/150. (each RP = 0.25p) not eligible for accelarated rewards
Indus = 0.7 RP / 100. (each RP = 0.30-1Rs.)

Largely , what we should aim for payment of govt taxes using CC is:

1) Attain a small % profit.
2) Attain Fee waiver for that year for that card
3) Attain any milestone benefit(s)..

If the above three are met, then we can say operation suceess and patient is also doing fine..

Byproduct of this exercise is: Better limit enhancement offers in future from the Bank and thereby card upgrade offers as well..!! What else you want??

Enjoy..

NOTE: Cant expect huge profits for paying taxes..
So which is the best card to pay income tax even if we get net 0 return.

HDFC Tata Neu Infinity
Amex Plat Travel (milestone benefit)
IDFC Club Vistara (milestone benefit, but it has stopped issuance though)

If you pay IT from any other card except Amex, you can get additional 1% cashback if you pay the credit card bill from SBI Unipay or Airtel Thanks App using HDFC Platinum Debit Card.

HDFC Tata infinity se kitna milega cashback ? I have used this card for cc payment of advance tax, only advantage is not getting additional charges for using cc. Then paying its bill using hdfc debit card is the only way to get 1% cashback.
