Thanks. I wasn't aware about the RBI rules in this regard as this was a voluntary first time like this a in some 1000s. Since the transaction is separate (not same value) I think the points may not get reversed. But in Axis anything can happen considering the aggressive clawbacks they did to Reserve CC holders and other pts that had got credited to many accts in the Magnus heydays.
As of now, my Axis, HDFC, PNB spends have together crossed more than 45L for the year and individually more than 10L, Axis being the largest at 20L+. So to do any of the transaction like this make me worry as i dont know how is IT going to look at all of this considering my overall compensation isn't at such levels. Hence even if there is a case of points accrual using this method with minimal costs involved, I'm not trying to do it given the potential 26AS IT status vis-a-vis' salary receipts.
