IMP UPDATE:- IDFC bank First Rewards team has confirmed that all transactions of 17th july - 20th July had tech issues and points are credited for those days today. I got them on my mom's account. CHECK YOURS.

14 working days for RP is now a standard so 18 days in total (including 2 weekends)

Redemption charges will be applicable (99 +18% GST)

they should be applicable for all redemptions but we are not getting charged. GO AHEAD ND REDEEM all your points before they fix it and charges become applicable.
Yes you are correct i also got the points for 18th july.

Will I be charged any charges for 0 balance now ? it's been 3 months no charges. In app it always showed saving account since upgraded to wealth even when my salary was credit to this only

You won't be charges anything for non maintains of balance till you are wealth customer but i suggest you to maintain at least 25k or maybe you will lose your wealth status.
