Payment of Property Tax in Bangalore using Axis Magnus

[sidart]

Wanted to understand if Property tax payment can be done via CC and do we get ER for the transaction? Will be there be any charges for the same.
I can use Axis Magnus if transaction are considered for Rewards and Milestone. I guess it should be considered as Govt Payment

Can I pay BBMP tax without the OTP? Phone number is not mine. Bought the flat last yr only

You will need to have the registered phone or email id access, OTP is sent to both if paying directly from BBMP Portal. Not sure if there are any third party apps where you can pay BBMP tax

So, did anyone received the ER for property tax payments? I wanted to know if the property tax payment is considered for 1L milestone ?

Should be counted for milestone. I had made payments on the vistara card in jan which counted for milestones. The mar changes on milestones didnt apply to magnus (except rent), so it should still hold.

BBMP property tax portal clearly mentions applicable charges for different modes of payment. For CC, HDFC gateway charges are 0.8% + GST. PayU gateway charges are 0.85% + GST.
PayU gateway directly adds the charges while making payment.
Where as HDFC gateway does not do so but adds later. It seems no reward points also for HDFC cards( paid by Infinia. No points)
No charges for UPI and debit cards
For Amex it is 3.5% + GST

There is another very good thread on inclusions and exclusions on the Magnus card. It is a great reference and is constantly updated. Keep it as a ready reference. The Thread name is Axis Magnus - Master List of Exclusions. Take a look.

This looks correct and the reason I prefer UPI on government sites

Recently I paid property tax for home at Surat. As it was not listed in any portal/app I paid it on direct site with my SBI CASHBACK card and I got 5% cb.

With HDFC cards, UPI is better. In fact with most cards UPI is better as govt sites are excluded from rewards or the rewards are at a very low rate.

On top of no reward govt sites charge extra like NPS

So pay with Axis ace by selecting cc?
Also you get message if cashback for axis ace? I have axis ace gpay? I never get why message about cb with my card

No. They are considered government charges and don't earn RP.
I think someone if this forum confirmed it already and the link below also says so.

HDFC Bank makes revisions in the reward points program for these cardholders

With effect from 1 January 2023, the largest lender in the nation, HDFC Bank, has revised its reward point programme and fee structure for a select number of reward points.

i don't mind not getting the ER points for the Govt transactions, but does it count as a monthly milestone to cross 1 lac for the extra 25k points?

Hi @kkk , which portal and payment gateway did you use to pay for registration and stamp duty charges without extra charges? Also, did you receive regular reward points, and was the transaction counted for monthly milestone of Axis Magnus?

It was Karnataka govt portal for registration and stamp duty(I think it was - https://kaverionline.karnataka.gov.in/). I used Axis Reserve and I received regular ER points.

Does Axis ACE CC give 2% cb for registration and stamp duty payment?
