† IndusInd Bank Miles & More Signature: Miles & More houses at ₹1.00, so 3 award miles per ₹100 is a flat 3%. There is no transfer haircut to bake into `base`, and that is the whole point of this card: IndusInd credited award miles to the cardholder's own Miles & More account every month, in the bank's words "these award miles will reflect on the monthly IndusInd Bank Credit Card statement and would automatically get transferred to your IndusInd Bank Miles & More account every month". No bank currency, no conversion step, no ratio.
Neither issuer publishes an income floor for these two. Axis Miles & More World Select is open to a direct application; IndusInd Bank Miles & More Signature is closed to new applications, and only grandfathered holders still have it. How people actually get IndusInd Bank Miles & More Signature is on its card page.

The ₹ face-off at ₹1L/₹3L/₹5L a month
Ranking-value face-off
Everyday spend at each card's base rate plus a realistic ~20% at its best accelerator (less for narrow or capped boosters) — milestones, fee waivers and the redemption haircut all at our house ₹/point. That's why the biggest headline rate doesn't automatically win. This is the ranking model, the one that orders the board; each card page prints the earn-rate-only net annual value instead, which reads lower for any card with an accelerator (both models, side by side). Tune it to your own spend in the calculator.

- WITHDRAWN — no Miles & More card appears on IndusInd's live credit-card range or anywhere in its current bank-wide MITC, and no Indian issuer carries the programme today
- The earn was CAPPED at 90,000 award miles per twelve months, which at 3 miles per ₹100 is the SAME ₹30 lakh of spend the Platinum's 60,000 cap binds at — so the extra mile per hundred buys nothing above that line
- ₹4,500 a year against the Platinum's ₹2,000 for one extra mile per ₹100: below roughly ₹2.5 lakh of annual spend the cheaper rung is simply the better card
