Once again Hasan and Honda Notors India and their devious cheap tricks
Now forced to use electronic and accountable payment processes, Honda is reluctantly using electronic payment methods but are blatently cheating and violating RBI instructions.
RBI clearly states a 0.5% Merchant discount Rate BUT these crooks want to charge 1.15%.

A reference is invited to circular DPSS.CO.PD.No.2361/02.14.003/2011-12 dated June 28, 2012 on Merchant Discount Rates(MDR) structure for debit card transactions wherein banks were advised to cap the MDR for debit card transactions at not exceeding 0.75% of the transaction amount for value upto ? 2000/- and not exceeding 1% for transaction amount for value above ? 2000/-.
Following the withdrawal of legal tender characteristics of existing ? 500/- and ? 1000/- Bank Notes(Specified Bank Notes – SBN), in order to facilitate wider acceptance of card payments, the following special measures for debit card transactions(including for payments made to Government), are being introduced for a temporary period: For transactions upto ? 1000/-, MDR shall be capped at 0.25% of the transaction value.
