Best Way to pay Credit Card Bill

Guys I am redacting this post as I have been asked by the bank for non disclosure as mentioned in TnCs else my account would be suspended. They had asked me to remove this as this violates the TnC related to not getting reward points for CC payments.

7 days seem very high. What will be the value date? Many might have late fees if it is 7 days and they did not know.
It took me 5 days to reflect from hdfc BB to axis credit card. But value date is same as transfer date. So we don’t need to worry.

Sent from hdfc on : 21 Apr
Reflected in Axis: 25 Apr
Value date (date in Axis statement): 21 Apr
 
Exclusive and select debit cards are better than pioneer ones in terms of reward rate. Upto 0.93 vs flat 0.5
I already got 1 Mastercard world select DC , can I apply for 1 more Mastercard World select DC on same account .. ? If yes how to apply .. how many days it takes and is there any charges for Select account holder ?

Generally 1 VISA & 1 MC.
But you can call and try your luck

Same variant u won’t get again
Ask for visa since you’re having a foreign trip in next month and visa have better exchange rate then they give visa exclusive with mc
 
I recently opened a hdfc regular savings account. I got millenia debit card with it.

Does this card also have some cashback via billpay like easyshop platinum has?

Went through this thread, so yes millenia DC also provides 1% up to 400.

1. Through mobikwik
2. Through Paytm

I will call the CC and see if I can upgrade to easyshop platinum DC without being charged for both in the current year
 
How does this plan sound?

1. Pay CC bills through my Neu Plus UPI hack -> get 1% as neucoins
2. Pay Neu Plus CC bill through Platinum DC on paytm (because one can't pay hdfc cc on billpay) -> get 1% upto 750.

Overall 2%+ extended credit cycle till I hit the monthly limit.

The main problem with this plan is the IT. I will be paying 2X my spendings as credit card bills. Maybe I should cut the greed for the extra 1% 😅

Yes never exceed cc spends than ur ITR on a FY

This can only be done as your neu card spends will be the sum of its own spend of last month+other cards spends of last month+other card spends of this month's. Moreover you'll need to have double the credit limit if you want to pay its own bill. What I concluded is we will easily reach 10 lakh like this in 2-3 months so avoid it. Best for increasing the spend limit in hdfc but as someone already mentioned from May onwards hdfc is going to report credit limit to cibil

Yes ofcourse the two limitations are
1. Neu card credit limit
2. 750 monthly cap of platinum DC

I will use this selectively so that my overall CC spend doesn't balloon up too much.

Also can I spend more on my CC wrt my ITR by citing my wife also uses my CC (wife is employed and we have shifted 90% spends to my cards). So together our CC spends will be far less than both the ITRs.

I believe this will be a reasonable justification if IT ever wants to question

It deosnt make sense to me. I can withdraw 50k and give it to my parents who put it in thier bank. And they withdraw 50k after 15 days and give it to me and I put it to my bank. Imagine I did this 2 times a month, it would technically considered 1L income per month which is more then my income for year, but how is that illegal? It's my own money, all I did was lend it to my parents and get it back.

Well the expectation is you never do CC->bank. These are loopholes, not features
