The bank's debit card holders can avail the offer on the POS transactions made from July 1 to September 30.        

They will get three per cent cash back on a spend of Rs 501-5,001, four per cent on Rs 5,001-10,001 and five per cent on Rs 10,001 or above, the release said.        

Cash back on transactions (other than on ATM withdrawals and internal transactions) will be credited to customers' accounts within 4-6 weeks of the end of the campaign.        

The maximum amount of cash back during the entire period of offer will be Rs 1,000 per debit card, the release said.
