Axis Bank launches portal to check annual spends, fee waiver target, and reset date
Tracking your cumulative annual spending on credit cards in India has traditionally meant digging through twelve monthly PDF statements or calling customer support to verify if you have crossed the annual fee waiver threshold. Axis Bank has now addressed this friction with a dedicated Quick Actions portal that lets cardholders instantly look up their current calendar year spends, exact annual renewal day, annual fee, and the spending milestone needed for a fee waiver.
How to check your Axis Bank credit card annual spends (step-by-step)
- Visit the official Axis Bank Annual Spend portal: application.axis.bank.in/WebForms/axis-support/annualspend.aspx.
- Enter your Registered Mobile Number prefixed with the country code (e.g., 9198XXXXXXXX).
- Enter your 9-digit Axis Bank Customer ID (available on your net banking profile, account statements, or welcome kit).
- Type the Captcha displayed on the screen and click Enter Details.
- Enter the One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number to authenticate.
- View your card spending dashboard displaying your current year spends, annual day, fee amount, and waiver target for your active Axis credit cards.
Understanding the four dashboard metrics
Once authenticated, the portal surfaces a clean card-by-card summary consisting of four key tiles for each active primary credit card linked to your Customer ID:
| Metric Tile | Sample Value | What It Represents |
|---|---|---|
| Current Year Spends | Rs. 1,18,539 | Total cumulative credit card spends recorded in the ongoing calendar year (1 January to 31 December). |
| Annual Day | 28 DEC | Your card anniversary / renewal reset date. This marks when your card membership year completes and the renewal fee is billed in the next statement. |
| Annual Fee | Rs. 500 | The standard annual renewal fee (excluding applicable 18% GST) for your card variant. |
| Annual Fee Waiver Spend | Rs. 3,50,000 | The eligible spend target you must achieve within the annual cycle to get the annual renewal fee automatically waived. |
Axis Bank popular cards: annual fees & fee waiver milestones

Important caveats: calendar year vs anniversary year
When using the tracker, pay special attention to how spending periods are measured by the bank:
- Calendar Year vs Card Year: The disclaimer on the portal specifies that 'Current Year Spends' reflects spends for the current calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec). However, fee waiver eligibility is calculated over your card anniversary membership year (the 12-month window preceding your Annual Day).
- Excluded Spends: As per Axis Bank Most Important Terms and Conditions (MITC), certain transactions—such as rent payments (MCC 6513), wallet loads (MCC 6540), fuel purchases, EMI conversions, cash advances, and government services—do not count toward milestone calculations or fee waivers.
- Add-on Card Spends: Spends made on supplementary/add-on cards are consolidated into the primary account and count toward the primary card's cumulative spend milestone.
- Tax and Fee Exclusion: Joining fees, annual renewal fees, finance charges, GST, and late payment penalties do not count toward spend milestones.
Why this tracker matters for points and miles optimisers
For multi-card users holding portfolio cards like Airtel Axis (for utility cashback), Axis Ace (for offline payments), and premium travel cards, tracking individual card anniversary dates and spend progress prevents avoidable fee charges. Instead of calling phone banking or waiting for an unexpected renewal fee charge on your statement, you can check your progress months before your 'Annual Day' and route eligible day-to-day spends to clear the waiver threshold.
