Credit Card Transactions Overseas Won’t Attract TCS: What It Means for Travellers?

The government has shelved the higher TCS rate on overseas remittances until October 1, 2023.

Separately, however, the Finance Ministry also made a distinction between credit card transactions when made while abroad, and when made while in India. While credit card transactions made while the user is abroad will not attract TCS, international payments using a credit card made while the user is in India would attract TCS if they cross the Rs. 7 lakh threshold.

I am planning Dubai trip in second week of Feb.

It looks like I will be using Klook to book entry tickets to most of the attractions. Is there any other option available which is better than Klook?

Also, do we get charged DCC for using Klook? I have Infinia and Magnus Burgundy which I will be using mostly. However I also have SBI cashback. Does it give 5% on Klook transactions? @anirban.choudhury

How to do this since I couldnt find anything on the Accor website to link it. Except a page where we need to purchase on klook, going via that page and the cookies will track the purchases, which is very cumbesome if trying to do via mobile.

On similar topic, if I book some activities for UK in Klook/GetYourGuide/Viator, will that be counted as International spend on Samsung Axis Infinite ?

Yes. You should switch to USD/EUR or other forex before paying (top right). Otherwise, it will be in INR and they will add DCC.

Also, if you goto klook via accor's affiliate link, you will get accor points too.

Yes. 5% on SBI cashback.

No markup on klook if you do all transactions in INR.
