How we got this ₹ figure
₹1.00 is our HOUSE value for a point — what a disciplined traveller actually clears, not the best redemption we have ever seen (₹1.00, the ceiling) and not the worst you can always fall back on (₹0.25, the floor). It is the number every route on this page is priced with.
We hold one dated point for IRCTC Reward Points — the mark itself. There is no earlier valuation on our record, so this page shows no trend line rather than drawing one. How we value a point →

3 cards earn IRCTC Reward Points outright. The figure is the reward rate — what ₹100 of ORDINARY spend earns back at our house ₹/point, before milestones, accelerators and the annual fee. How we compute it →
IRCTC SBI Card Premier0.8%SBI CardIRCTC SBI Platinum Card0.8%SBI CardIRCTC RBL Bank Credit Card0.5%RBL BankClosed loop to the rails: 1 Reward Point = ₹1 against a train fare booked on irctc.co.in or the Rail Connect app — the IRCTC SBI Premier's currency (AC classes) and the IRCTC RBL card's (all classes, paid through iPay at booking), which is what makes their headline rail rates real. The ₹1 holds only on the rails: SBI's points drift to a ~₹0.25 catalogue floor off them, and RBL's spill into rewards.rbl.bank.in at a rate RBL publishes per card and not at all for this one. No cash, no statement credit, no partners.
