I activated the card and got a 6 digit PIN. Is there a separate 4 digit PIN for POS machine ?
Yeah this irritated me cos I gv my parents to use this. Since usually it's 4 for all cards n this alone is 6 they get confused what pin they shld give n call me if txn fails cos they forget if that's a 4 or 6 digit

FYI: Indus, Kotak, SC also 6 digits. Rumor is that all banks going to implement this soon to increase security.
 
same MCC for Flipkart Groceries as well.
Didn't tried "Grocery", but a member posted 5411 which is grocery MCC.


Maybe @shu_sha_ can confirm again
 
i checked for flipkart groceries last month. it was 5699. Customer care confirmed only 1.5% cashback. So, i cancelled my order and placed the same order again with my AU LIT card and got 5% cashback as i had apparel feature enabled.
In that case, 5699 (Flipkart Internet) and 5411 (Flipkart Groceries ) both are available in Flipkart and one needs to take care while making payment.
