How does cashback get credited for HDFC smartbuy and smartpay?

Hi, I recently created an HDFC salary account and got a platinum debit card with that. On the website, they mention that this card is eligible for 5% cashback on SmartPay (auto bill pay) and Smartbuy.

I have added 5 bills out of which 3 support SmartPay. Others are gas cylinder and credit card which have to be paid on demand so might not be eligible for the cashback. Also I had booked a train ticket using SmartBuy.

My question is how and when do we get the cashback for these payments? I don’t think I’ve got anything yet after a couple of bills paid and one train ticket booked.

There’s also a gift voucher on the basis of the no. of SmartPay bills, is that given after 12 months?

Yes you shall get 5% cashback on the remainder amount paid by card. You get max 1k cashback per calendar month for any hdfc card (except regalia diners privilege dcb & infinia). I know that it’s excluded for gold , silver, add money & bill payments but for phones it’s not

@Fanil is the cashback also applicable on credit card payments even though that doesn’t come under SmartPay?
