Sonia’s son-in-law was talking about petrol pumps yesterday threatening to refuse card payments for fuel. The owners are miffed that banks planned to charge a 1% transaction fee on card and debit payments at petrol pumps from today. To promote transactions, the government had waived these fees until today. While that move has been deferred after last-minute negotiations, it has not been resolved, not by any means.
“What was the whole meaning to offer 0.75 % discount and then the banks start charging MDR (Merchant Deposit Rate, or transaction fee) 1% from petrol pumps ? I dont see any rational, do you? (sic),” Vadra said.
In a Facebook post last month, Vadra accused the Centre of of “experimenting on us, to try and prove itself correct” – after it scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes – and of constantly changing the rules.
