You'll land on the issuer's official application portal at tjzuh.com — if a different card is shown first, use its card selector to pick this one.
Overview
India's simplest flat-cashback card: 5% on any online merchant, auto-credited to your statement. Devalued effective 1 April 2026 with tighter caps and new exclusions — still strong for online-first spenders who stay inside the limits.
Best for
- Online-first spenders with ₹20–40k/month of eligible purchases.
- People who want zero redemption effort — cashback auto-credits to the statement.
- First premium-adjacent card holders who want simple, predictable value.
Not ideal for
Anyone routing government, tax, toll, utility, or rent payments (all excluded), heavy spenders who blow past the ₹2,000 monthly cap, or travellers wanting lounge access.

Plain math
₹40,000 of eligible online spend per month earns the full ₹2,000 cap — about ₹24,000 cashback a year against a ₹999 fee. Spending beyond ₹40k/month online earns nothing extra.
Reward cap
Effective 1 April 2026, cashback is capped per statement cycle at ₹2,000 on online spends and ₹2,000 on offline spends - a maximum of ₹4,000 per statement cycle.
