Our verdict

Axis Neo is Axis Bank's low-cost entry card — ₹250 a year (the joining fee may be waived through select channels, and the first-year annual fee is shown as nil on the product page) with merchant offers such as ₹120 off Zomato, 10% off Blinkit up to ₹250 and 5% off Paytm utility bills up to ₹150 a month. It earns EDGE Reward points rather than cashback, and the rate is not stated on the product page, so it works best as a secondary card.

Pros

  • Flat ₹120 off Zomato (min ₹499 order, twice a month) and 10% off Blinkit up to ₹250 (min ₹750, once a month)
  • 5% off Paytm utility bills up to ₹150 a month, plus ₹300 activation cashback on the first utility bill
  • Just ₹250 a year, with the first-year annual fee shown as nil
  • Low income eligibility (₹10,000/month) — highly accessible
  • Good entry point into Axis Bank credit card upgrade path

Cons

  • Offers are capped per month and carry minimum order values (₹499 for Zomato, ₹750 for Blinkit)
  • The points earn rate is not stated on the Neo page, so everyday spends have unclear value
  • No lounge, no fuel surcharge waiver, 3.5% forex markup — strictly digital lifestyle
