IndianOil Axis Bank Credit Card: rewards, caps and exclusions

The IndianOil Axis Bank Credit Card pays about 4% on Eligible fuel transactions at IndianOil outlets, on the first ₹5,000 of spend a month, and 1% on everything else. Below is every rate, cap and exclusion in Axis Bank's published terms, as we last checked them on 9 October 2026.

What it earns

≈4%Eligible fuel transactions at IndianOil outletson the first ₹5,000 of spend a month
≈1%Everything else (online)on the first ₹5,000 of spend a month
≈0.2%Everything else (in store / UPI)no cap stated

≈ marks a rate paid in points, valued at ₹0.2 a point. That is Zenidhi's conservative valuation, the same one the audit uses: the cheap end of what the points can be redeemed for, never the best transfer. Redeemed well, they can be worth more.
