did you pay in inr or foreign currency, if inr did only dcc 1.5% got charged?

Sometimes these foreign airlines take payment in INR and no DCC will be charged because they may be processing the payment via an office in India. I had such an experience with Malaysia airlines last month. It is said that SBI does not charge DCC. So if paying in INR, SBI Cashback card is best

we booked Emirates flight tickets last month with HDFC Regalia credit card and no DCC was charged.

It is because that INR conversation is already inclusive of DCC charges. No way Bank will cut loose on these earning opportunities

Was the invoice showing the Emirates airlines India office as the biller

I don't think so as Emirates always shows the fare in INR if booked from India and it is just like booking an Air India or Indigo flight. So my guess is Emirates have a local entity. Another thing is Emirates earlier doesn't accept Diners in India but it accepts in USA. Don't know whether it got changed now.
