However, this is subject to a quarterly cap of Rs 10,000.'Some credit cards focus more on instant cashback and discounts, while others give better value through reward points. Platforms like HDFC SmartBuy or ICICI iShop allow users to earn extra reward points on voucher purchases, which can later be used to buy gold online through sites like Amazon or Myntra,' he further adds.The HDFC Bank Tata Neu Infinity Credit Card offers up to 7% cashback in the form of Neucoins on spends made across multiple brands, one of which is Tanishq. These neucoins (1 neucoin = Rs 1) can further be used to avail discounts in the future across various other brands.So if used smartly, certain credit cards can help you save much more than you ever would with an offline store, whether through instant offers or by stacking reward points through voucher purchases and using them later.For instance, if you buy an Amazon Pay Gift Card & Gift Voucher worth Rs 10,000 via HDFC's SmartBuy using an Infinia credit card, you can get the voucher at just Rs 8,350, since your reward points will be worth Rs 1,650.

DCP Porwal said that Angad Pal Singh and his family members created forged FIRC and obtained benefits of Duty Credit Scrips worth Rs 30.47 crore and sold them in the open market. All these FIRCs, which ran into crores of rupees, were purportedly issued from Corporation Bank, Bhikaji Cama Place, Delhi, he said.
