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.

What to watch out for
PNB Zaggle Twin · 1 more →
- Issued as a TWIN — you receive and manage two physical cards (RuPay Select + VISA Platinum) sharing one credit limit
- 0.83% base earn (10 points per ₹300 at a flat ₹0.25/point) — the value here is the lounge/discount stack, not the points
- Confirm before applying that your specific application is the individual retail SKU, not an employer-issued Zaggle expense card — corporate cards are out of scope for this desk
PNB BLISS · 2 more →
- The 300-point first-transaction bonus is on PNB's Rewardz programme page under this card's BIN band, not on the card's own page — the recurring quarterly vouchers below are benefits, not a welcome bonus
- PNB's older bank-wide Key Fact Statement carries a ₹510 joining line with promotional/existing-cardholder footnotes — outvoted here by two more specific and more current documents, the card's own page and the 18-May-2026 MITC fee table, which both print a flat Nil
- Retail-category earn is a flat 0.25% (1 RP/₹100 at ₹0.25/pt) — this is a lounge-and-voucher card, not a rewards engine
