RBL defines a month as a billing cycle. Offline UPI payments under ₹2,000 at small merchants on the RuPay variant earn no points. Flights and hotels booked on IRCTC earn 2 points per ₹200 and FASTag, NCMC and UTS top-ups 3 per ₹200 (each up to 1,000 points a cycle); these are highlights, not modelled. Points used on IRCTC need a minimum of ₹200; RBL's general ₹99 redemption fee does not apply to redemptions on the IRCTC platform.
