Unless and until NPCI establishes some way to detect MCC from UPI transactions, Rupay on UPI's adoption will be shallow. As CC on UPI transactions get least reward points with almost same or greater MDR.

I think if they implement MCC categorization om UPI this would just complicate NPCI backend even further
On a sidenote I've a colleague at work who has joined my org from NPCI (worked as a data scientist there)

I think it is already present, someone posted that when you pay in Shell using UPI, fuel credit cards like Axis IOCL and others earn accelerated reward points meant for fuel specific MCCs. I could be wrong tho, better to let the experts have the final word...

Yes there is some backend implementation because PNB Rupay Credit Card charges Fuel Surcharge even on UPI transaction at Fuel station. And one of the fuel station name was XXXX Service Station. No mention of fuel station in name, then also Fuel Surcharge was charged

Thank you for this, was not aware this was already implemented.

But I still think this has to be implemented by banks as till now (30 Nov), ICICI was not giving appropriate RPs on UPI payments (I know ICICI & RPs ☠️ - just for knowledge here).

But today (1 Dec) ICICI has announced Rupay CC on UPI integration, so things maybe different from now on. Only time will tell. Currently using HDFC Virtual UPI card.

By the way apart from this.

Many other MCC codes assigned for UPI,

MCC codes for P2P, P2PM, P2M, UPI IPO, insurance, Credit Card bill payment etc.

For example -

MCC 7407 - assigned for P2PM UPI transaction (RuPay CC link UPI is not eligible on this categories merchant)
MCC 5960, 6300, 6529 - Insurance payment through UPI

Ye code sahi lagna chaiye baki lage na lage. Pata laga daru pine k baad reward bhi ni mila.

as I said in other threads also, most petrol pump uses wallet linked machine and hence even fuel specific cards fail to provide rewards (well many times). Shell is very standard and particular about their business and hence no phnpe, ptm machines and hence the accelerated rewards, its like citi bank of petrol pumps in terms of service 😛.
Only down side is cost of fuel is high.

But I am talking about payment of Rs 1000 using UPI through PNB Rupay Credit card. I was charged Fuel Surcharge + GST. And no refund of Surcharge also.

 

[SamPtnk]

Accept to hota nahi kahape
Or fail hua to paisa wapas milta nahi
Uske upar chindi rewards

Limit ka kya kare ?

They should have made till 5K MDR free and hosted some workshop to all the merchants regarding this

Chai sutta me hi biggest scope tha is program ka

PSU hai time lagta hai, they will do waiver in next or maybe next to next statement, but being PSU they are more cautious they will definitely do it, have hope
