How we got this ₹ figure

₹1.00 is our HOUSE value for a mile — 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 (₹0.50, the floor). It is the number every route on this page is priced with.

We hold one dated point for Kotak Air Miles — 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 →

Flat ₹1/mile against flights and hotels on Kotak Unbox — that IS the ceiling: all 10 airline/hotel transfers across the Solitaire/Air/Air+ trio, nine of them reachable from Solitaire itself (Air India 1:1, most others 2:1, Marriott 3:1), price WORSE than just redeeming. Floor is the ₹0.50 voucher rate. (Kotak Solitaire rewards page, 2026-07-21.)

The 1:1 to Air India Maharaja Points is Kotak Solitaire; Kotak Air+ Prime at 2:1; Kotak Air at 3:1.

The one 1:1 route — Air India domestic + Star Alliance premium cabins. Still worth ~₹0.8/mile vs the ₹1 flat Unbox redemption, so book travel direct unless you need Maharaja specifically.

When did Kotak Air Miles last devalue?
