Got my ICICI amazon card statement today and was surprised to see all refunds credited to bank account instead of credit card. When enquired with customer care, was informed that as per RBI rule it is applicable from 9th April 2024 for all cards if the person is holding savings account with the bank.

Never came across any such rules. Anyone aware or had similar experience? IMG20240429165350

But there is a catch, they first credit to cc, reverse rewards/cashback and then send to bank

This rule doesn't make sense. Can anyone give a logic behind this rule?

You are right, Useless rule. Instead they should start considering refund as credit. 

People are gonna misuse it a lot.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) amended the "Master Direction - Credit Card and Debit Card – Issuance and Conduct Directions, 2022" on March 07, 2024. When you get a credit card refund after you pay your credit card bill for the month, you will have options to either adjust it or get it in your bank account.

This applies to credit cards of all banks, ICICI seems to be the pioneer in implementing it.

It shouldn't consider the spend even for milestones or fee waiver, since it is just a refund
