Our Expert Take

Kotak League Platinum is a solid everyday rewards card with an easy fee waiver: just ₹50,000 in annual spend keeps it free, and 8X points on categories like airlines, travel and electronics adds up quickly. The milestone reward of 4 free PVR tickets or 10,000 points every 6 months is a nice touch for regular spenders.
