Reward programme rules (July 2026 terms)Core earning: 4 Reward Points per ₹100, capped at 800 core points per statement cycle. The July 2026 product table does not assign Swavlamban an accelerated-reward category. 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. 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. A newer product-specific MITC remains inaccessible, so these shared reward rules do not resolve Swavlamban's current fees or eligibility.View source
Page 1 lists 4 RP per ₹100 and an 800-point statement cap; pages 1 and 4–5 provide shared accrual, expiry and redemption terms.
