For Users wanting a lower-fee Axis co-branded Maharaja Points card for domestic travel patterns. 2.5% on travel spend. ₹1,500 annual fee. Skip it for lounge access.

Quick Overview

What matters before you apply.

You should be able to scan the fee, waiver rule, best use case, lounge condition, and biggest downside in one pass.

Why get it

Why you should get it

Users wanting a lower-fee Axis co-branded Maharaja Points card for domestic travel patterns

  • Complimentary Economy Class ticket voucher on fee payment (legacy/interim-program conditions apply)
  • Up to 3 additional Economy ticket vouchers at milestone spends (Rs 1.25L, Rs 2.5L, Rs 6L)
  • 2 domestic airport lounge accesses per quarter, subject to spend criteria
Why skip it

Why you may regret it

These are the rules and drawbacks most likely to make the card feel disappointing after signup.

  • Benefit structure is under merger-era interim policy updates and may change again
  • Some legacy voucher and tier benefits are suspended for renewal cycles under the updated circular
  • Maharaja Point value realization depends on Air India redemption availability
Annual Fee₹1,500Joining fee ₹1,500
Spend to Waive FeeCheck termsRenewal fee is currently waived for impacted cycles under Axis Vistara merger circular; terms are interim.
Best Category Return2.5%Travel spend
Lounge Access ConditionNo accessNo lounge access listed.

Quick notes

How to use the card well, and what to watch before applying.

How to use it well

  • Use as a focused domestic travel card where annual fees are justified by ticket-voucher usage and point redemption.
  • Track quarterly spend against lounge gating thresholds to avoid overestimating effective benefits.
  • Re-validate card economics at every renewal because merger-driven policy changes are still ongoing.

Watch before applying

  • Interim policy circulars can change eligibility and voucher outcomes with short notice.
  • Rent, fuel, wallet, and selected MCC categories can dilute practical points yield.
  • If yearly travel redemption is low, fee-adjusted value can underperform simpler cashback products.
