Reward programme rules (July 2026 terms)Core earning: 2 Reward Points per ₹100. The July 2026 accelerated-reward table lists departmental stores (MCC 5311), capped at 1,000 accelerated points per statement cycle. The issuer says transactions below ₹100 do not earn points; fuel is excluded except on HPCL Energie; UPI earns core points only; MCC 4900 utility transactions are not eligible for accelerated points; and Annexure 1 MCC categories are excluded from core and accelerated points. Eligibility depends on the merchant-acquirer MCC/online/international flags. Points post after statement generation, generally expire after 2 years (Eterna and Tiara points are evergreen), and statement redemption requires at least 1,000 points. The table does not restate IRCTC's separate train-ticket benefit.View source
