Devaluation Airtel app levying usage fee on utility payments on Airtel Axis credit card

[itzmycard]

Airtel started levying usage fees on electricity bill payments while using Airtel Axis credit card on its app. Might add the same for other bill payments also.

Last week i got second card for my brother to overcome capping on utility bills.
Now he has already made payment and paid fees. He's gonna kill me.

Does this have anything to do with the news of MC increasing their fee for utility transactions?

Are folks on Visa and Rupay also seeing the same convenience fee?

No charges showing for me currently on version 4.115.1
I paid the electricity bill which i received just today🫡🫡

Can someone post screenshots?

I am not going to update the app.

I am also on version 4.116.1 but not seeing the charges yet (but will eventually). I guess it's a server-side change so probably rolling out gradually to everyone

Yes, it will eat up a portion of our cashback. No escape.

Dont know why every bank is after utility payment...... Guess now its back to ancient era....

 

[Gau₹av]

By taking such "convenience fees" or "usage fees" for credit card, essentially every merchant who does so is passing on MDR + interchange fees to the consumer. RBI says that's not allowed by law but as usual, there's no enforcement, no regulation of their published rules, only "guidelines"

 

[JSK111]

They all charging the fee with different names for MDR. like Convenience fee, platform form, handling charges, surge fee, rain fee, Usage fee, etc.

Can someone confirm if this charge is on Rupay variant aswell?

 

[Batmanbaba]

Currently can confirm its an app side issue... I was seeing charges in 116.1...but now reverted back to 114..and charges gone...

Downloaded the airtel xapk.... And installed via xapk installer.... Just now paid the electricity bill without any charges.....

Nation wants to know this 😢

Looks like it’s in the process of being rolled out and is being levied selectively—I just made a payment without any extra charges! Hold off on updating the app for now.

Yes 114 has no charges currently. Just remove 116 n install 114 . Paid just now widout any extra charges

Hide this thread. Airtel staffs might see it.

The cap is per month or per statement?
