What MCC code does Freecharge use for credit card transactions?
Freecharge transactions can post under more than one MCC. The code depends on how you pay (in store, online, in-app, wallet top-up, bill payment) and, for marketplaces and platforms, on which seller or payment provider processes the transaction. Codes seen for Freecharge:
1.AU Altura Credit Card
Utility bill payments (2%)
2% cashback on utility bill payments. AU's KFS/MITC defines 'Utility Spends' as MCC 4900. BBPS transactions are not eligible for cashback (since 1 Apr 2024), so utility bills paid via BBPS earn nothing; pay the biller directly. Fair-usage fee of 1% on utility spends above ₹50,000 in a calendar month.
