I’ve explored multiple ways to identify the Merchant Category Code (MCC) for telecom-related payments, but so far, without much success. Here’s a summary of what I’ve tried:
I’ve created this thread to help others who might be trying to identify and get telecom-related MCC codes or similar solutions. Let’s collaborate and share insights to help each other.
- MCC for Loading Airtel Bank Account using Debit Card:
- MCC: 6540
- MCC for Paying Bills via Freecharge App:
- MCC: 4900 (Utility)
- MCC for Paying Bills via Axis Bank (Freecharge):
- MCC: 6300
- Easemydeal:
- Unfortunately, this platform doesn’t support debit card payments, so I couldn’t test here.
- Investkraft App:
- Verified MCC: 4814 (Telecom), confirmed through RBL customer care.
- However, a few days ago, they halted BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) services. I hope they fix this soon.
Issue with Investkraft
After successfully making a payment through Investkraft, the app unexpectedly closed. While the amount was deducted from my account, the payment wasn’t received to cc. I contacted their customer care, who mentioned they currently do not provide this service, even though the payment went through. I have raised a complaint with RBL for a refund and am awaiting resolution.I’ve created this thread to help others who might be trying to identify and get telecom-related MCC codes or similar solutions.
