I recently got my HSBC RuPay Cashback Credit Card, and here’s my first-hand review covering the application process, benefits, and cashback experience.
Application Process 📝
If HSBC improves cashback transparency by providing category-wise breakdowns, this could easily rank as one of the best cashback + UPI credit cards in India, 2025.
Application Process 📝
- Applied on 24th July 2025 via a bank agent
- Already had another HSBC card → only salary slip + Aadhaar was required
- Super smooth approval, done without video KYC
- Card delivered on 4th August 2025
- First statement generated on 22nd August 2025
- On 25th August 2025, I received ₹246 cashback credited to my account
- Cashback was credited within the same billing cycle (impressive speed!)
- But: No transaction-level breakup shown in the statement
- 10% Cashback on:
- Food deliveries 🍕
- Dining 🍽️
- Groceries 🛒
- 1% Cashback on UPI spends (using RuPay + mobile UPI apps 📲)
