Current normalized product terms are sourced from official issuer pages and converted into the same annual-value model. Change the profile and the ranking recalculates instantly.
Ranking scope: this is a ranking of the real cards currently normalized in the CredoNomics verified dataset, not a claim that every credit card issued in India has already been captured. Cards are added only when enough current official-source data is available to model their economics.

How this category is modeled
Category-specific math, not one universal score.
Each category uses its own benefit/cost structure and keeps the inputs visible.
01
Apply cashback only to the eligible spending entered.
02
Cap accelerated cashback at the monthly limit before annualising.
03
Subtract annual fee and fee GST unless the modeled annual spend clears the waiver threshold.
