Which credit card pays the most on fuel in India?

Of the cards whose terms were read off the issuer, Kotak Cashback+ (Kotak Mahindra Bank) publishes the highest rate on fuel in India: 3.00% (at most INR 750 back a month; INR 750 a year, waived above INR 200,000 of spending a year). This is a ranking of published rates, not a recommendation to apply.

Highest published rate on the whole category first. What limits each rate is printed beside it, because it is usually what decides whether the rate is real.

Rates on part of fuel

These read cards pay on fuel only at the places named. They are not ranked above, because the number is not what the card pays on fuel anywhere else.

How these were worked out. Only cards whose rates a person read off the issuer's own published terms are ranked here; 3 other cards in the catalogue publish a rate on fuel that nobody has yet read off the issuer, and are not listed here at all. Points and miles are valued at the redemption rate the programme publishes, the rate anyone can take rather than the best one after a transfer. A rate that covers only part of fuel — one chain of shops, one kind of merchant — is shown with what it covers and is not ranked, because it is not what the card pays on fuel.

The right card depends on what you have already spent.

PayperWIZ holds the cards you actually own and names the right one at the till — after the cap you have already used this month, and after the foreign-currency fee. Every rate in it says whether it was read off the issuer, and none is made up.
