Idk now idfc is giving r not. For womens 1st savings account, there is an offerr. Spend 10k using dc and get 500 monthly. So load in paytm wallet, pay cc bill
@I_AM_5RAV5 when you open RBL digital account, make sure you do vKYC from aadhar address so location can match with aadhar address otherwise there are good chances for account freeze. I would suggest to avoid digital account rather visit branch and open offline account. There is 2.5k MAB classic account available in RBL but they don't open it easily unless force them to. Try via twitter and see if you can open classic account?
Is the problem with bob world app solved now?

Anybody have any idea about this?
Which vouchers we get?

Load and transfer to bank free of cost.

The Rs 50 cashback for GRAB1CCBP / DDCCBP codes is received in your Mobikwik wallet. Mobikwik won't let you do more than Rs 20k on your HDFC Platinum DC within 24 hrs. You can do multiple Rs 19999 on the same day though.
Also, the 1% upto Rs 750 on HDFC Platinum DC is all inclusive - so either you do Rs 75k via HDFC Billpay or Rs 75k via Mobikwik or you do half and half - Rs 750 is the max you are getting. As I said, for first bill payments for the month, Mobikwik will let you apply those codes to get an extra Rs 50 off.
Mobikwik does not get a lot of trust around on DD and for valid reasons. If your CC is non-HDFC and is available on HDFC BillPay, I say stay clear of Mobikwik.
