RuPay has introduced a limited-time cashback campaign to promote the use of RuPay Credit Cards on UPI. Under this offer, eligible cardholders can earn a flat ₹250 cashback simply by linking their RuPay Credit Card to UPI and completing qualifying transactions.
This initiative is powered by NPCI and is applicable across multiple partner banks such as HDFC Bank, SBI Card, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank, IDFC First Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. The offer is designed specifically for users who have never used their RuPay Credit Card on UPI before.
UPI payments in India have largely been driven by debit cards and bank accounts. With this campaign, RuPay is expanding the ecosystem by allowing credit cards to be used seamlessly for everyday QR-based UPI payments.
From grocery shopping to local merchant payments, users can now enjoy the convenience of UPI along with the flexibility of credit. This move makes UPI transactions more rewarding while helping RuPay increase credit card adoption.
Offer Validity
The RuPay UPI cashback offer is valid from 7 January 2026 to 31 March 2026.
This cashback campaign rewards RuPay Credit Card holders who make their first-ever credit card transaction on UPI. Once the card is successfully linked to UPI and two eligible transactions are completed, the user becomes eligible for a one-time cashback of ₹250.
The offer is focused on encouraging first-time usage of RuPay Credit Cards on UPI and is available only for a limited period.
