10.1 Point of Sale (POS) Transactions

Using your Visa International Debit Card for shopping at any of the Visa Electron merchant outlets in India and more than 24 million worldwide could not be easier. Follow these simple, convenient steps to make your shopping experience truly enjoyable.

Look for a Visa/Visa Tap to Pay sign at the Point-of-Sale merchant establishment. The merchant must have an Electron Point-of-Sale card swiping terminal/ Visa Tap to Pay enabled terminal.
Present your Debit Card after making your purchase.
The Debit Card will be swiped by the merchant on a Visa Electron Data Capture Terminal for authorisation. In case of Visa Tap to Pay transaction the Debit Card will be held/waved by the Customer close to merchant Tap to Pay enabled reader/terminal.
In case of VISA Tap to Pay Debit Card transactions up to INR 5,000 or such other amount as may be permitted, made on Tap to Pay enabled terminals, you will not require any PIN for authorization. In case of any other POS transactions you need to enter your ATM PIN for authorization.

After a successful authorisation, a hold for the transacted amount will first be placed on your digiSavings. Your digiSavings will subsequently be debited for the transacted amount.
A sales slip will be generated.
Check and sign the sales slip, if required by the Merchant. Your signature must match with that on the reverse of the Card.
Ensure your Debit Card is returned to you.
Preserve your copy of the sales slip for future reference.
Subject to availability of balance in your digiSavings, a per day limit of such amount as may be determined by the Bank from time to time, will be set for usage of your Debit Card at merchant outlets. When the Debit Card is used at a merchant establishment, the purchase amount will always be debited from the digiSavings.

Visa International Debit Card is accepted only at all Visa supported Point-of-Sale terminals at merchant establishments in India and overseas, which display the Visa logo. You must sign the sales slip and retain your copy of the sales slip whenever the Debit Card is used at merchant establishments on Point of Sale terminals.

We will not accept any responsibility for any dealings the merchant may have with you, including but not limited to the supply of goods and services so availed or offered. Should you have any complaint relating to any Visa supported Card merchant establishment, you will resolve the matter with the merchant establishment and failure to do so will not relieve you from any obligations to us. If you decide to cancel your purchase and not accept the goods after the Debit Card is swiped, ensure that the merchant cancels the transaction immediately and the cancellation slip is handed over to you. Any cancellation thereafter will be routed as a 'chargeback' on the merchant through the acquiring bank and will take the time required to complete the process. There can be no guarantee of full/partial return of the amount.

We accept no responsibility for any charges levied by any merchant establishment over and above the value/cost of transactions and debited to your Account along with the transaction amount.

A purchase and a subsequent credit for cancellation of goods/services are two separate transactions. The refund will only be credited to your digiSavings (less cancellation charges) as and when it is received from the merchant. If the credit is not posted to your digiSavings within 30 days from the date of cancellation, you must notify us, along with a copy of the cancellation slip from the merchant.

Debit Card should not be used for any mail order/phone purchases and any such usage will be considered as unauthorised and you will be liable for all cost and consequences arising or relating thereto.

Please choose the "Checking" option, as this option hits the Visa network. In some countries you may have to choose the "Credit"option.

At a few Merchant establishments abroad (especially in the United States of America), you may have to ask the cashier to swipe your Debit Card as a credit card.

We and/or the Participants may at any time, without notice to you and without assigning any reason therefore, and without liability for any inconvenience, loss, damage or injury suffered by you or any third party:

limit, suspend or terminate any or all of the Electronic Services; or
disallow any Transaction or allow a Transaction subject to such conditions as we see fit; or
revoke or suspend your, or any User's, right and authority to use Electronic Services; or
retain or reject any Debit Card and/or PIN.

Any claims against or disputes with a Participant are to be settled between you and the Participant. You will not claim against us in this respect.

In case of Visa Virtual International Debit Card/digiSavings, Cash and proceeds of cheques (including house cheques) deposited through the Electronic Services cannot be withdrawn until collected and verified by us. Our determination of the amount deposited will be conclusive against and binding on you.

29.10 Payments, Charges, Fees, Costs, and Taxes

You will pay such charges and fees for the provision of Electronic Services as we may prescribe from time to time, whether or not you in fact make use of such Electronic Services. We are authorised to debit your Account for all charges, fees, withdrawals and payments for the provision and/or use (authorised or unauthorised) of Electronic Services and any other liabilities to, and loss suffered by, us as a result of the provision and/or use of Electronic Services. If the Account has insufficient available funds to meet any request for payment of monies or to satisfy any liability, we may (but are not bound to) grant you credit to meet such payment or liability. You undertake to pay interest and charges at such rates or amounts as determined by us. Where a Transaction, or the debiting or crediting of any Account in connection with a Transaction, requires the conversion of one currency into another, we are authorised to effect such conversions at the rate determined by us and/or Participants. If GST is charged on any payment, you will pay such GST in addition to all sums payable and indemnify us against any payment we are required by law to collect and make in respect of such GST. We may debit the Account for such GST, including default interest payable in the same manner as may be provided in this Agreement or in any related agreement for credit facilities, and/or any other charges, as we may prescribe from time to time, even if such debiting results in the Account becoming overdrawn.

29.11 Liability

We will not be liable for any loss suffered by you or any third party arising from and in connection with the use of the Electronic Services except where such loss is attributable to our negligence or wilful default. Neither we nor the Participants will be liable for any inconvenience, loss, damage or injury suffered by you or any third party arising from or caused by:

Our compliance with any instruction given or purported to be given by you or a User relating to Electronic Services, notwithstanding that the integrity of the information comprised in such instruction may have been compromised or impaired during transmission, provided that such compromise or impairment will not have been apparent to a reasonable person receiving such instruction.
Your being deprived of the use of any Electronic Service as a consequence of any action by us and/or the Participants; or
Any Electronic Service not being available due to system maintenance or breakdown/no availability of any network; or
Any failure by us and/or any Participant to perform any obligation or observe any term of this Agreement if such failure arises from a failure of, or any unauthorised and/or unlawful access to, any machine, data processing system or transmission link or any act of force majeure such as acts of God, war or warlike hostilities, civil commotions, riots, blockades, embargoes, sabotage, strikes, lock-outs, fire, flood, shortage of material or labour, delay in deliveries from sub-contractors, or any event outside our control; or
