FAQ

Does BigBasket count?

BigBasket Supermarket category qualifies. Delivery-only Q-commerce does not — use RBL Cookies for that.

Is the 5% instant or deferred?

Statement credit posted within 60-90 days of transaction.

What about kirana stores and local grocers?

Small local stores rarely use the "departmental store" MCC. Qualifies only if the merchant is categorised as large-format grocery.

Fees and features verified against the issuer's public website. Benefits may vary; always confirm current terms with the issuer before applying.
