    Looks more of scam to make money by government indirectly.
    3% Card transaction charge (either debit or credit) is huge money in long run. This is not being charged in many countries, absorbed by credit providing bank to do business.

      There are cards for which specific fuel bunks will not charge the sur-charge; I have ICICI bank credit card which is exempted from surcharge on almost all HP bunks. There are some conditions like the swiping machine should be from ICICI and a maximum limit of Rs.4000/= per day.

      Other banks offer other oil-co cards.

        Every retailer is keeping POS machine from different banks. This is not possible to carry everyone's card in wallet. Hence more of inconvenience than good. anyhow you are poor by 3% at the end in any of the petrol bunk.

          Hi,

          I filled petrol using my HDFC debit card twice. For 100 INR and 200 INR.
          Each I got fuel sur charge of 11.50 INR for each transaction.

          Why they charge extra ? Shouldn't the merchants have to pay this from their profit, rather charging to customers?

              Does the sms/notification comes with surcharge amount?

                  For me also sms comes with the amount I paid and just now I checked icici bank statement of last week, in that also there wasn't any deduction of surcharge amount.

                        Found some old news on this

                        Surcharge scam in petrol pumps busted - Times of India

                        The merchant is liable to pay this 2.5% for using any banks service. They should not be charging the customers. Is there any forum where we can raise this concern?

                              I use my HDFC debit card at any petrol pumps and if the price is more than 500 the surcharge gets reversed within few days. I own a platinum debit card. Hope this helps someone.
