Fine-print notesIssuer product page read 12 Oct 2026: source_product_page was Uni's Key Fact Statement (now moved to source_other). The issuer's Uni and Uni RuPay pages confirm: 0% forex markup, zero joining fee, Rs 499 renewal waived on Rs 50,000, unlimited 1% rewards, fuel waiver up to Rs 7,500 per transaction with a Rs 500 cap per cycle, and eligibility. Changes: rewards are issued as Uni coins, not rupee cashback (aggregator said cashback); the exclusion list is new and includes international transactions. The physical card's network is still not stated; a RuPay virtual twin is confirmed. source_quality stays mixed only because the cash-advance fee wording cites Uni's Key Fact Statement. || Earlier notes: MITC v18 (file reference 05102026): rent (MCC 6513) fee is the greater of 1% or Rs 199 above Rs 1,000, max 5 rent transactions per 30 days; wallet loads above Rs 2,000 charged 1%; education via third-party apps 1% + GST; utilities 1% + GST once the month's cumulative spend crosses the card's threshold (Rs 50,000); fuel 1% + GST on a single transaction above Rs 10,000 or cumulative above Rs 50,000 a month; tolls and railways also carry 1% beyond thresholds.
