Questions
1) What is fuel surcharge and why is it levied?
When you buy petrol on credit card, the banks charges 2 to 3 percent usage charge to petrol pump dealers. The petrol pump dealers think why should they bear this loss. So they apply surcharge on all petrol purchases done on card. Now bank is telling about reversing this waiver to us if we buy petrol above ₹400 at selected stations of selected companies.
