Our verdict

Kotak League Platinum is a simple low-fee points card — 8 reward points per ₹150 (about 0.5% back as points) on travel agencies, airlines, electronics, durable goods and departmental stores, and about 0.27% back on most other spends until annual spend crosses ₹2 lakh. Points can be converted to cash, though at a reduced value. The ₹499 annual fee is waived at ₹50,000 retail spend, and the card needs a monthly income of about ₹41,667.
