At the end of 18 months, customers who have done recharges (in any denomination of their choice) worth Rs 3,000 will be eligible for the first cashback instalment of Rs 500. They will be eligible for the second instalment of Rs 1,000 provided they complete another set of recharges worth Rs 3,000 over the next 18 months.
