General Discussion/Conversation Westside passing on MDR on customers now (started 8th oct)

Post image

Guys "Pay Smart" according to westside. You are not allowed to pay using your credit cards now without incurring a 49rs flat fee mentioned as a convenience fee.

Also before anyone jumps with saying passing MDR to a customer is ok, Mastercard and visa network explicitly mention in their contracts that MDR should not be passed on to customers.

MDR pass on to customers on UPI and debit cards are outright banned in india according to RBI but credit cards don't fall under that rule but also you have network contracts that make it illegal.
