Rarely Rewarded, Worth Checking Anyway
Government Services (16 codes) covers tax payments, court costs, postal services, and other government-office transactions — spend most Indian cardholders only encounter occasionally, when paying property tax, government fees, or postal charges by card.
Most Indian credit cards explicitly exclude this range from reward categories, and some issuers route these payments through a separate fee structure or surcharge rather than treating them as a standard purchase. If you're planning a large government payment on a card specifically to earn rewards, it's worth confirming the issuer's policy first rather than assuming standard reward rates apply.
