Which card to use for Advance Tax Payment

[GBajaj]

I use Cred, Cheq, PayTM for paying CC bills by DC. You can try and let us know if it is rewarding.

BTW, IDFC wealth DC reward rate is not on the same lines with IDFC wealth CC.

For IDFC wealth DC, points earned are per 150rs.
So, for online 4x rewards upto 50K and 10x later on. means
4x = 4*0.25*100/150 = 0.66%
10x = 10*0.25*100/150 = 1.66%

Whereas for wealth CC it would be 1.5% till 30K and 2.5% later on.

Note that I didn't pay PG charges since I used DC. PG charges apply in the tax portal for CC.

That's exactly the calculation about. I did not put any PG charges for DC.

Wealth CC rewards for advance tax. I did receive 10x.

My only question was whether you can pay wealth cc bill by wealth dc via paytm/cred.

I have IDFC wealth CC and it did give. As of now, IDFC is treating online govt txns. as online and rewarding accordingly.

Magnus - no Edge Rewards and it doesn't count for milestone
Atlas - you get Edge Miles and it counts for milestone

but with credit card payment, I can also get extra 1% while making bill payment using HDFC Platinum DC.. that will be more better, right?

I paid advance tax today via HDFC DCBM and to my surprise they did not charge any transaction fee (yet). The amount shows up in my statement as it is what I entered on IT website.

Perhaps this is because DCBM doesn't offer any reward points on "government related transactions", so no rewards either.

But it does get considered for milestone / spends in general (I have got this confirmed in writing from support).

The PG charges for HDFC cards on HDFC PG is 0.75%. Are you sure it wasn't charged ?
