Devaluation Airtel app levying usage fee on utility payments on Airtel Axis credit card

I am not able to see axis cc option in old app version (4.115.1) while paying electricity bill, but in new version on other mobile, it is showing with some charges.

Any1 using old app version can confirm if the cc option is showing for electricity payments or not plz?
They have removed cc option in older versions
 
So basically, they're passing on MDR charges to the users. Wasn't there a guideline from RBI that this is illegal?

Not just Airtel, Amazon, Paytm and almost all apps have started doing this with different names. Ques is, what is RBI doing?

not only these platforms but every places especially offline sanitory, paint, electrical etc. any place charge fee for credit card usage. Point is these all places offer atleast one mode of payment as free of cost, and only particular mode with charges.

Ex: UPI free, but credit card chargeable..

Its upto us whether we can use that in that place or not. RBI only ask if none of them offering at free of cost otherwise, they can only say -- why not pay with that?

Its customers responsibility and unity that only if everyone stop purchasing on that shop then they'll waive the fee for that mode, otherwise they're always in upper hand.


FTH started MDR charges for credit card loading, I stopped using that app but it still works and people still using it with those charges.

Zepto charges 79rs. for 700rs. cart as processing/platform fee, I stopped using it but still app used by many with same charges.

There are many..

As mentioned only unity works.
 
For me it's showing just checked and getting otp too for the payment using airtel axis

After uninstall & reinstall the Airtel app i can see Airtel CC option in app for JIO recharge with convenience charges.
Will i get 10% cashback? because the app doesn't display CASHBACK like as we see while we try to recharge AIRTEL
