EASY's 5 points per ₹100 apply only to department stores (MCC 5311) and cinemas (MCC 7832), which are not calculator categories, so they are shown as a highlight and ordinary spends are counted at the core 1 point. Online grocery and food delivery are left unrated because supermarket (5411) and fast-food (5814) merchant codes earn nothing. UPI payments earn only core points. Points earn only on transactions of ₹100 or more and expire after two years.
