The 18% GST on the annual fee is the number most comparisons quietly omit. A ₹2,500 card actually costs ₹2,950 a year. Factor that in before deciding whether the rewards clear the bar. To test the fee against your own spending rather than ours, the credit card reward value calculator works out the net figure after the fee and its GST.

Compare with

Card	Issuer	Rating	Effective return	Annual fee
SBI Cashback Credit Card	SBI Card	3.2/5	4.2%	₹999
HDFC Bank Millennia Credit Card	HDFC Bank	2.8/5	2.4%	₹1,000
Axis Bank ACE Credit Card	Axis Bank	2.6/5	2.2%	₹499

Effective reward rate is our own blended estimate for a typical spend mix — not the accelerated rate an issuer advertises on one category. Annual fees are shown before the 18% GST that is charged on top. Verify current terms on the issuer’s site before applying; card terms change without notice. If NeuCoins locked inside one ecosystem do not suit you, the best cashback credit cards pay in money instead.

Eligibility

Age	21–60 years (typical)
Income	₹6,00,000/yr
Credit score	730+
Documents	PAN, Aadhaar, income proof
Welcome benefit	1,499 NeuCoins

Approval turns on a 730+ bureau score, which is a step above the entry-level cards, so it is worth reading where your credit score stands before you apply — a declined application is itself a hard enquiry.
