magnus, infinia, swiggy,neu wil not give any benfit. mrcc can use if any spend based offer ongoing. Maybe best option is amazon icici only but not worth as its only 1% and will not offset PG charges.

AU Ixigo - Rupay has offer ?

Yes Ixigo is applicable

I prefer AU LIT with 5% milestone benefit active to spend 50k spread across 5 months in an year.

best is MRCC, you can complete monthly milestone with it.

Use Billpay PG.. Charges would be 0.75 + 18% GST, i.e. total of 0.885%.

Hey Friends,

Just wanted to share that I made a 50K NPS payment today (April 5, 2025) using my HDFC Rupay UPI credit card, and there were no extra charges. Plus, I'm expecting a 1% reward!

According to the NPS site, Rupay credit cards don't have any platform or convenience fees, so I only paid 50K from my credit card and now I'm waiting for the rewards (usually around 1%).

I'm posting this to save you all the hassle of researching other cards. I looked into ICICI Amazon Pay, HDFC Infinia, Axis Rewards, HDFC UPI Rupay, SBI SimplyCLICK, HSBC Live, and Axis Select, but found this one to be the best for this payment.

Sorry to be spoilsport!

But no rewards on Govt. Spends on HDFC Rupay UPI CC.

Plus you get 1% cashpoint for other spends, which has at best value of Rs 0.25.

Got it, thanks for clarifying @JustMak . The original intent was to get cashback, however I coudn't really find that in the cards i had(mentioned above). So saving on gateway/process charge( ~300inr) is the reward for me.
