Use of personal credit card in business transactions
The bank has informed that in many cases people have used personal credit cards for business transactions. Reward points are also being earned by paying bills of other people. This also gives them the benefit of offers based on expenditure. Now after imposing a limit on reward points, the credit card cannot be misused.
You will not get any benefit on payment through third party apps like Cred
Along with this, HDFC Bank has said that no reward points will be given for making education payments through third party apps like CRED, PayTM, Cheq and MobiKwik. However, reward points will be given for paying fees directly from the school or college website or POS machine. As per the rules implemented on fee payment from August 1, 1 percent fee is being charged on transactions made through third party apps.
