Best credit cards for dining in India
Restaurant discounts, dining-partner programmes and accelerated points on food delivery, priced in rupees a month at the stated spend. A flat percentage off the bill usually beats a higher reward rate, which is why the order here is not the order of the headline rates.
48 of the catalog’s cards carry a dining benefit. They are ranked by the same engine your dashboard runs, at ₹18,000 a month across restaurants and delivery. Your spend will rank them differently, which is the point of the dashboard. Every figure comes from the issuer’s own page and carries the date it was checked.
