If your RuPay Select vouchers are showing “Benefit Exhausted” even though you haven’t touched your October–December quota, the calendar may have moved — not your balance.
Offer Details
- RuPay Select quarterly voucher cycle appears to be changing for some issuers
- Reported new window: 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027
- A “Benefit Exhausted” or “limit exceeded” message in early October doesn’t always mean the quarter’s benefits were already used
Eligible Cards / Who Can Avail
- RuPay Select credit cards where the portal or voucher page shows the revised dates
- Early reports mention UCO Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra and Canara Bank (including Lakme) showing a limit message
- Union Bank has reportedly still allowed a Lakme claim, so the change isn’t confirmed across every issuer
Benefits
- Nothing points to a cut in voucher value itself — it’s a timing change
- Checking the dates on your voucher page is the fastest way to confirm whether your bank has moved
How to Claim / Steps
- Open the RuPay Select benefits/voucher page and read the period shown, not just the error text
- If it shows 15 October 2026–14 January 2027, hold your claim until 15 October
- If your bank still shows the old window and the claim fails, retry closer to mid-month
- Don’t burn an alternate paid voucher path until you’ve confirmed the cycle
Validity / Important Notes
- Based on what cardholders are seeing in the portal, not a bank-wide circular
- Behaviour can differ by issuer — one bank clearing a claim doesn’t mean every RuPay Select card will
If your page already shows the new dates, plan your claim for 15 October rather than this week. Seeing this on your card too?
