Exclusive Guide: Decoding the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card "Quarter" Confusion

Confused about the new ₹4,000 cashback limit on the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card? Understand how the "Statement Quarter" actually works and stop losing your 5% cashback.

Exclusive Guide: Decoding the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card "Quarter" Confusion

Effective from June 20, 2025, the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card has introduced a capping on its most popular categories. While users are busy calculating their 5% and 7.5% cashback, a major confusion has surfaced: What exactly is a "Quarter"?

⚠️ The Biggest Misconception:

Many users think the quarter follows the Calendar Year (Jan-Mar) or Financial Year (Apr-Jun). Both are WRONG. This card works on a "Statement Quarter" basis.

The "Statement Quarter" Logic

Your cashback limit of ₹4,000 is calculated based on your Statement Generation Date. This means your quarter start and end dates are unique to your billing cycle.

Example: If your Statement Date is the 15th of every month

Quarter No. Duration (Period) Cashback Cap
1st Quarter 16th March – 15th June ₹4,000
2nd Quarter 16th June – 15th September ₹4,000
3rd Quarter 16th September – 15th December ₹4,000
4th Quarter 16th December – 15th March ₹4,000

Pro Savings Hack 💡

To ensure you don't lose out on any cashback, always check your statement date in the Axis Bank App. If you plan a big purchase on Flipkart or Myntra, make sure you haven't already exhausted your ₹4,000 limit within that specific 90-day cycle of your billing dates.

Quick Summary of Limits:

  • Flipkart (5%): Capped at ₹4,000 per Statement Quarter.
  • Myntra (7.5%): Capped at ₹4,000 per Statement Quarter.
  • Cleartrip (5%): Capped at ₹4,000 per Statement Quarter.
  • Swiggy/Uber/PVR/Cultfit (4%): Unlimited Cashback.
