I booked a transaction on foreign website. The card issuer charged me exorbitantly. On writing to them I received reply as under. The value of any transaction made in foreign currency on your credit card will be first converted to USD and then billed to your credit card account in Indian Rupees (INR). The exchange rates prevailing at the time of transaction would apply. This also applies to cancellations of transactions made in foreign currency.

I also receive some remittance from Canada every month through ICICI Bank. The Bank takes about 7 days to afford the credits to my account and I am sure they are manipulating the rates to their favour.

The RBI/Govt. should look into the issues to ensure that the Bank is not engaged in indulging in any manipulation/irregular practices. more
