RBI cracking down on P2P credit card transactions

Central bank targeting rent and tuition fee transactions


After barring Visa from undertaking certain commercial business-to-business (B2B) credit card transactions, the Reserve Bank of India is now seen cracking down on peer-to-peer (P2P) credit card payments made via third-party service providers, sources told businessline.


This comes after the central bank has found instances of retail customers using credit cards to pay rent and tuition fees through third party apps.


These third-party players, usually fintechs, allow customers to make a credit card payment to their authorised merchant account. They then instantaneously transfer the money to the bank account of the recipient (for instance a landlord in case of rent payments) in exchange for a commission.


“Credit card transactions are only meant to be between merchants and customers (P2M). If funds are being routed through an escrow account operated by a third party, it is bypassing the regulations and will not be allowed,” a senior official said.

Which means, RBI should ask Banks to provide cashback to all merchants..like say Axis excluded Jewellery/Govt. Transactions/Education..

These are all merchants too but they excluded from cashback.. Probably one sided decision.

A lot of people will hate me for this but let's be honest,

16 year old kids rotating their dad's money using credit cards and then getting IT notices.

Unemployed folks rotating money and then getting into debt traps.

Students showing off ultra-premium cc's without any salary.


All of this can harm the people - their finances, credit profile and CIBIL score in the long run even though they might be angry right now, it is for their benefit.

Can't agree more.

Here at my place lot of working staff ( 10-12k salary )  getting cc easily and transferring the same to bank accounts or aiyashi and then running here and there for EMI then borrowing for that EMI and so on.

Its happening quite at a significant scale.

So the move is definitely much needed.

I tried it 2-3 times when it worked with an AU card - 5% CB + 5x Reward points were worth it somehow but then, thought of ITR and stopped 😝

Good decision on my end at the right time. It's not good in financial sense.

Good move. It will provide better experience for people who use it for actual spends and also for the CC industry in the long run.

What about insurance premium payments being excluded from reward points?? Why RBI is silent on it?? Is it not violation?? This transaction is also between a merchant and buyer..

So you want RBI to direct banks to give you Money at 0 intrest for 45 days and also give you rewards and cashback as you are doing great favour on Respective bank by borrowing money from that.

Its the banks complete authority to give 100 % or 0% cashback on any transaction.  You can't force that.
