† Axis Bank NEO: NEO redeems EDGE REWARD Points at ₹0.20, half the ₹0.40 house value — the rate Axis's own value charts print for every card in this bucket, and the rate its NEO chart implies when it prices a year of EDGE at ₹120. Transferring is four times worse: NEO sits in Axis's "All Eligible Debit/Other Credit Cards" column at 20 points to one partner mile. The earn rate above already has the ₹0.20 baked in.
Neither issuer publishes an income floor for these two, and the door is the same on both sides: Axis Bank NEO and Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card are both open to a direct application. How people actually get each one 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.
