After all the struggles, I recommend to go for the Citibank Cashback Credit Card due to the following features.

  • Low Annual Maintenance among all cards.
  • 5% Cashbacks on Utility Payments & Telephone bills
  • 0.5% on all the payments. (My average spent on Credit Cards is about 1.5 Lakhs per year, 0.5% of an amount(INR 750) is covering my annual maintenance).
  • And all the remaining charges are same as the other credit cards.
  • Note the cashback will be redeemed only when total cashback amount reached INR 500.
