Indian gift cards: rides, coffee and furniture in rupees

India is one of the shortest shelves we sell, and it's entirely practical rather than for gaming. Three cards, all in rupees.

What's on it

Uber comes in ₹100, ₹250, ₹500, ₹1,000, ₹2,000, ₹5,000, ₹7,500 and ₹10,000. It's the widest ladder of the three and the most useful as a gift, because it covers a single ride or a month of them.

Starbucks is ₹250, ₹500 and ₹1,000. IKEA is ₹1,000, ₹2,000, ₹5,000 and ₹10,000. Uber sits on travel, the other two on shopping.

What isn't on it

No PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, Google Play or Apple cards for India at the moment.

Indian gaming accounts are usually funded locally, through methods we don't sell, so think of this region as a way to send something useful to someone in India rather than a way to top up a game account. If you're after gaming and your account turns out not to be Indian, the US, UK and UAE shelves are the deep ones, and what is an account region explains how to tell.

Why the rupee figure looks so big

A ₹10,000 card is not an extravagant present. The rupee is a small unit, so face values run into the thousands where a pound card would say 50, and the dollar price next to it is the number that tells you what you're actually spending.

Read the dollar figure first and the rupee figure second and nothing here is surprising. Why prices are in US dollars explains how that number is put together.

Sending one

These are among the cheapest cards in the shop, which makes them an easy present to send at a distance. Buying a card as a gift covers how to pass the code on without it going astray, and the India page will grow if stock does.
