ATM/POS Network: The Card is
acceptable at any Visa Plus ATM network belonging to other
banks other than the Bank in India and Abroad. Bank may, at
its discretion, make available to the Cardholder ATMs, POS,
and /or other devices through shared networks for the convenience
and use of the Cardholder. Bank will levy a separate Charge
for such facilities that will be announced from time to time.
The type of transactions offered on such ATMs may differ from
those offered on the Bank’s own network. The Bank will
support only the minimum transaction set that will be offered
at the ATMs belonging to other networks. The Bank reserves
the right to change the transaction limit without notice to
the Cardholder.

ATM network establishment, the matter should be resolved by
the Cardholder with such establishment and failure to do so
will not relieve him from any obligations to the Bank. However
the Cardholder should notify the Bank of this complaint immediately.
Merchant Location Usage: The
Card will normally be honoured by all Merchant Establishments
in India and abroad having POS Terminals, which display the
Visa Marks. Any usage of the Card other than the electronic
use will be considered as unauthorised and the Cardholder
will be solely responsible for such transactions. Electronic
usage is construed as the charge slip/transaction slip printed
electronically from the POS Terminal. The Card will be honoured
only when it carries the signature of the Cardholder. Transactions
are deemed complete once the POS Terminal generates a sales
slip and the sales slip is signed by the Cardholder. The amount
of the transaction is debited immediately from the primary
Account linked to the Card. The Cardholder should ensure that
the Card is used only once at the Merchant Establishment for
the same purchase. The sales slip will be retained each time
the card is used and the Cardholder should ensure that there
is no multiple usage of the Card at the Merchant Establishment.
The Bank will not accept any responsibility for any dealings
the Cardholder may have with the Merchant including but not
limited to the supply of goods and services. Should the Cardholder
have any complaints concerning any Merchant Establishments,
the matter should be resolved by the Cardholder with the Merchant
Establishment and failure to do so will not relieve him from
any obligations to the Bank. However, the Cardholder should
notify the Bank immediately.
The Bank accepts no responsibility for any surcharge levied
by any Merchant Establishment and debited to Cardholder’s
Account with the transaction amount. The Bank at an additional
charge may furnish copies of the sales slip. Any other Charge
or other payment requisition received from a Merchant Establishment
by the Bank for payment shall be conclusive proof that the
charge recorded on such requisition was properly incurred
at the Merchant Establishment in the amount and by the Cardholder
referred to in that charge or other requisition, as the case
may be, by the use of the Card, except where the Card has
been lost, stolen or fraudulently misused, the onus of proof
for which shall be on the Cardholder. In case a Merchant wishes
to cancel a completed transaction due to an error or an account
of merchandise return, the earlier sales receipt must be cancelled
by the merchant and copy of the cancelled receipt must be
retained in his possession. All refunds and adjustments due
to any Merchant/device error or communication link must be
processed manually and the Account will be credited after
due verification and in accordance with Visa rules and regulations
as applicable. The Customer agrees that any debits received
during this time will be honoured based only on the available
balance in the Account(s) without considering this refund.
The Customer also indemnifies the Bank from such acts of dishonouring
the payment instructions. No cash withdrawal or deposit using
the Global Card is currently allowed at POS or Electronic
Data Capture at a Merchant Location.
Use of the Card Outside India: The use of the Card
in jurisdictions other than India is subject to GOI/RBI regulations,
issued from time to time and shall not in the ordinary course
be permitted, except as may be specified by RBI and limits
prescribed therein, from time to time. The onus of ensuring
compliance with FEMA/RBI/GOI guidelines rests solely with
the Cardholder. The Customer accepts full responsibility for
wrongful use thereof by him in contravention of these rules
and regulations and undertakes to indemnify the Bank to make
good any loss, damage, interest, conversion, any other financial
Charges that the Bank may incur and/ or suffer on account
of such wrongful use.
Cardholder Information: The
Bank reserves the right to disclose, in strict confidence,
to other institutions/agencies, such information concerning
the Cardholder’s Bank Account/s as may be necessary
or appropriate in connection with its participation in any
ATM or Electronic Funds Transfer Network or on account of
the Bank’s statutory obligations
Honouring the Card: The Bank
shall in no circumstance be held liable to the Cardholder
or any third party if the Card is not honoured in the desired
manner, due to Technical Snags/ Force Majeure among other
reasons or on account of any consequential or indirect loss
or damage arising from such event. The responsibility of the
Bank, if any, for non-execution or defective execution of
the transaction is limited to the principal sum and the loss
of interest subject to the provisions of the Indian law.
Deposits Through ATM:
The amount of the deposit of cash or cheque will be subject
to verification by the Bank and this verified amount shall
be final and binding on the Customer. The credit for (i) the
cash deposits made in the ATMs will be available to the Customer
on the following Working Day, and (ii) the cheque deposits
after the same have been duly paid by the payee Bank.The statement
issued by the ATM at the time of deposit only represents what
the Cardholder purports to have deposited and will not be
binding on the Bank. If there are soiled, mutilated notes
in such deposits, the acceptance of such deposits shall be
subject to final acceptance and reimbursement by RBI as per
the Currency Note Refund Rules. Deposits of foreign currency
cash/ cheques or any other deposits, which are unacceptable,
