For utility and insurance payments, the bank will cap monthly spending at Rs. 40,000 for entry-level and mid-range cards, while premium cardholders can spend up to Rs. 80,000. Similarly, grocery spend caps have been set at Rs. 20,000 for entry-level and mid-range cards and Rs. 40,000 for premium cardholders before reward points stop accumulating. A 1% transaction fee will now apply to education payments made via third-party platforms, utility transactions exceeding Rs. 50,000, and fuel payments above Rs. 10,000. Additionally, rental payments, government transactions, and education expenses will no longer count towards milestone benefits or annual fee waivers, meaning cardholders may need to adjust their spending to maintain these perks.
