Yes you can fight later by saying 9311 was not in exclusion list. But already many excluded MCC with SBI cashback card are giving 5% cashback like I got on 5051 jewellery. They can take it back always.

It is 9311, and nowhere it is mentioned in the excluded list. And yeah I have right info. I made the comment after reading the terms and conditions.

I tried 100 rs txn on epay tax via via sbi cb on hdfc gw and they didn't apply any surcharge. Is it because of small txn?

Surcharge is taken later. First you pay only tax amount. PG charges are applied later.

Only via debit card upto 2000 for many banks it is Nil. Above that some take surcharge while others don't. List at IT website while making payment clarifies everything.

Yes on IT website it is 9311 while I was telling that some TPA have marked other MCC on tax payments.

I am not saying you are wrong but TnC says Govt txns are excluded and Tax Payment in single term is also a Govt payment to CBDT. Currently 9311 is not in the list but SBI can always take away cashback although it will be challengeable.

Those who want to do keep doing as I have HDFC Biz giving better %ge. But if you have only SBI CB card then keep going. Later when they take back everyone will be affected.

As more and more txn happens they will put it in exclusion list. I mean how much time it takes them? Less than a day to update card network MCC list and put 9311 as excluded in TnC.

Did anyone try idfc dc if it's giving 2.5 percent cashback?

 

[sam1803]

Theoretically speaking it should give as the mcc updates will happen from 1st October. But i have not tried. You can try yourself. While doing self assessment for challan enter a small figure and pay. Then you can check the rewards if they got credited or not.

In the TnC currently it doesn’t mention government txn are excluded. Or am I looking at a wrong document?
