EMV (Europay Master Visa) is a chip credit card with a microchip embedded in it. When a chip credit card is used at a chip enabled terminal at a merchant outlet or at an ATM, the payment system reads information from the card chip to establish the card details. An EMV Chip & PIN Card mandates the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to authorize purchase transactions.

The chip offers a more secure payment mechanism compared to the traditional magnetic stripe, and reduces the probability of card cloning or skimming, i.e., copying of personal data from the information stored on the card.

A Credit Information Company (CIC) is an independent organization licensed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that signs up banks, NBFCs and financial institutions as its members. It then aggregates data and identity information of individual consumers and businesses from its members.

All banks and financial institutions are required to share information like current balance, payment history, demographic details etc, pertaining to all accounts held by a customer who has a loan, credit card or ready credit account with the Credit Information Companies. Credit reporting is very important in today's financial system and is considered a primary factor while evaluating the credit worthiness of customers and monitoring the credit circumstances of consumers and businesses. This information enables lenders to function more efficiently and at a lower cost than is otherwise possible.

Citibank may tie up with credit bureaus authorized by the RBI and will share credit information including but not limited to your current balance, payment history etc along with your demographic details with these credit bureaus on a monthly basis, as per the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005.

The credit history & repayment behavior of a customer is translated into a number called "credit score" developed by the Credit Information Companies. Credit score is one of the parameters used to review a credit card application. Credit information companies only provide factual credit information and do not provide any opinion, indication or comment pertaining to whether credit should or should not be granted. It is in your best interest to maintain a good credit history by paying the necessary dues in a timely manner. With credit information companies in place, responsible customers can expect faster and more competitive services at better terms from the credit grantors.

Default by customers would be available with the credit information companies, which in turn could impact your credit worthiness for future requirements.

A chip credit card is a card with a microchip embedded in it. When a chip credit card is used at a chip enabled terminal at a merchant outlet or at an ATM, the payment system reads information from the Card chip to establish the Card details. An EMV Chip & PIN Card mandates the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to authorize purchase transactions.

The chip offers a more secure payment mechanism compared to the traditional magnetic stripe, and reduces the probability of skimming, i.e., copying of personal data from the information stored on the card.

A suspicious transaction is when

  • Customer gets an alert of financial / non-financial transaction which is not attempted by him/her and

  • Card is in customer possession and

  • Customer is not aware of or is not expecting any such attempt or transaction on his/her card/account

Transactions are of two types;

  • Point of sale transaction (POS)

  • Online transaction

A POS or a swipe transaction may be authenticated by an ATM PIN, where the card is dipped inside the chip terminal or swiped on the EDC machine and the PIN and/or signature is required to complete the transaction. For instance, payments made at a restaurant or retail store.

Online transactions for purchase of products or services over electronic systems such as internet and other computer networks. For instance, buying a book on a merchant website or mobile application. Online transactions authenticated by an OTP (One Time Password)are secure transactions. This additional security feature will be applicable on 3D secure enabled merchants only and hence may not be applicable at certain domestic and most international merchants.

Online transactions which do not require an IPIN / OTP authentication are unsecured in nature and may be risky.

If you have received an alert for a transaction you did not make, this may potentially be a misused transaction.

Please block your card immediately through our online banking channel by using your user id and IPIN on citibank.com/india, else you may reach out to us on the numbers given: 1800 425 2484 / 1800 267 2425 to block your card to avoid further misuse and to log a complaint to investigate the misused transaction.

Alternatively, you can download Citi Mobile APP to block the card

Please do not worry. If your card account is billed twice for a transaction which was incurred only once, you may check with the merchant in case it was erroneously done. If the merchant confirms erroneous double debit, and confirms to have claimed the transaction only once, in such case the other transaction will be purged automatically within 7 working days. If the merchant confirmed they will refund the transaction then the same will reflect on your credit card account within 15 working days.

In case if you are not getting proper response from the merchant then please contact our 24-Hour CitiPhone helpline to dispute the same. We will investigate the transaction on your behalf and will keep you updated on the same.

If a transaction which was void / cancelled at the time of incurring, is approved on your card but not billed to the card account, please contact the merchant to provide void / cancellation slip. On acquiring a valid void / cancellation slip / an acknowledgment from the merchant, please forward the same to retail.dox.india@citi.com from your registered email id to cancel the approved transaction and release blocked credit limit

If this transaction is not claimed by the merchant within 30 days, the same will be cancelled automatically and the blocked credit limit will be released. However, if the merchant presents a valid charge slip and claims payment for this transaction, your card will be billed with the transaction amount. In case of that eventuality, you can contact our 24-Hour CitiPhone Banking helpline to initiate a dispute investigation.

If the merchant has initiated a refund for a void/cancelled transaction, please forward the communication received from the merchant along with the 23 digit ARN (Acquirer Reference number) with which the refund was processed, to retail.dox.india@citi.com for us to assist you further.

It may take upto 15 working days for the refund to reflect in the card account. If the refund is not credited in 15 working days please write to retail.dox.india@citi.com to initiate an investigation with valid supporting documents like, merchant refund/credit note/acknowledgement for the cancellation request raised by the customer.

Please note:

  • The refund amount will be automatically credited to the new card, if your existing credit card is reissued or swapped to another card.

  • If the refund amount is less than the original amount, kindly contact the merchant for further details regarding the same.

A transaction can be disputed for the following reasons:

  • Not incurred - Unknown transaction billed to the card account

  • Double Debit - Charged multiple times for a single transaction

  • Failed / Cancelled transaction - Transaction failed or was cancelled

  • Services not rendered / Goods not received

A transaction dispute should be referred to Citibank within 60 days from the date of the transaction. When a dispute is raised for a transaction, depending on the nature of the dispute, a provisional credit to the extent of the amount disputed may be given and an investigation is initiated. This provisional credit will nullify the effect of the disputed transaction on the total outstanding. This is to ensure that, you are not adversely impacted during the period of investigation.

Based on the outcome of the investigation, the provisional credit may be made permanent resulting in no liability from your end for the transaction or reversed, wherein the amount under dispute will be debited to your account and payable by you. We will contact you, if the provisional credit given to the card account is reversed.

To raise a dispute investigation, please contact our 24*7 CitiPhone Banking services.

Automated Teller Machine is a computerized machine that provides the customers of banks the facility of accessing their account for dispensing cash and to carry out other financial & non-financial transactions without the need to actually visit their bank branch.

ATMs set up, owned and operated by non-banks are called White Label ATMs. Non-bank ATM operators are authorized under Payment & Settlement Systems Act, 2007 by the Reserve Bank of India.

i) In White Label ATM scenario, logo displayed on ATM machine and in ATM premises pertain to WLA Operator instead of a bank. However, for a customer, using WLA is just like using the ATM of other bank (bank other than card issuing bank). ii) Acceptance of cash deposits at the WLAs is not permitted at present.

The rationale of allowing non-bank entity to set up White Label ATMs has been to increase the geographical spread of ATM for increased / enhanced customer service.

The ATM/ATM cum debit cards, credit cards and open prepaid cards (that permit cash withdrawal) issued by banks can be used at ATMs/WLAs for various transactions.

In addition to cash dispensing, ATMs/WLAs may offer many other services/facilities to bank customers. Some of these services include:

  • PIN change (at all Citi ATMs)
  • Request for Cheque Book (at all Citi ATMs)
  • Account Information (at all Citi ATMs)
  • Mini/Short Statement
  • Cash Deposit (at select Citi ATMs, not permitted at WLAs)
  • Regular Bills Payment (not permitted at WLAs)
  • Purchase of Re-load Vouchers for Mobiles (not permitted at WLAs)

For transacting at an ATM/WLA, the customer inserts /swipes his/her Card in the ATM/WLA and enters his/her Personal Identification Number (PIN). Usually the transactions are menu driven for facilitating easy operation.

PIN is the numeric password which is separately mailed / handed over to the customer by the bank while issuing the card. Most banks require the customers to change the PIN on the first use. Customer should not disclose PIN to anybody, including to bank officials. Customers should change the PIN at regular intervals.

Yes. The cards issued by banks in India may be used at any bank / white label ATM in the country.

Yes. With effect from November 01, 2014, a bank must offer to its savings bank account holders a minimum number of free transactions at ATMs as under:

I. Transactions at a bank's own ATMs at any location: Banks must offer their savings bank account holders a minimum of five free transactions (including both financial and non-financial) in a month, irrespective of the location of ATMs.

II. Transactions at any other banks' ATMs at Metro locations: In case of ATMs located in six metro locations, viz. Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, banks must offer their savings bank account holders a minimum of three free transactions (including both financial and non-financial transactions) in a month.

III. Transactions at any other banks' ATMs at Non-Metro locations: At other locations, banks must offer the savings bank account holders a minimum of five free transactions (including both financial and non-financial transactions) in a month at other bank ATMs.

RBI has mandated only the minimum number of free transactions at ATMs. Banks may offer more number of transactions free of cost to their customers. The above does not apply to Basic Savings Bank Deposit Accounts (BSBDA) as withdrawals from BSBDA are subject to the conditions associated with such accounts.

Yes, customers can be charged for transactions at ATMs over and above the mandated number of free transactions (as indicated in answer to Q.10 above). In case a bank decides to levy charges, the customer can be charged a maximum of Rs. 20/- per transaction (plus GST, if any) by his/her bank.

The customer should contact the card issuing bank immediately on noticing the loss / theft of the card and should request the bank to block the card.

Banks are required to display the name and the contact numbers of concerned officers/toll free number/help desk numbers in the ATM premises. Similarly, in WLAs, contact number of officials/toll free numbers/ helpline numbers is also displayed for lodging any complaint regarding failed/disputed transactions.

The customer should lodge a complaint with the card issuing bank at the earliest. This process is applicable even if the transaction was carried out at another bank's/non-bank's ATM. In case of WLAs, the contact number/toll free numbers are also available for lodging complaints regarding failed transactions at their ATMs.

As per the RBI instructions (DPSS.PD.No.2632/02.10.002/2010-2011 dated May 27, 2011), banks have been mandated to resolve customer complaints by re-crediting the customer's account within 7 working days from the date of complaint.

Yes. Effective from July 1, 2011, banks have to pay compensation of Rs. 100/- per day for delays in re-crediting the amount beyond 7 working days from the date of receipt of complaint for failed ATM transactions. The compensation has to be credited to the account of the customer without any claim being made by the customer. If the complaint is not lodged within 30 days of transaction, the customer is not entitled for any compensation for delay in resolving his / her complaint.

The customer can take recourse to the Banking Ombudsman, if the grievance is not redressed by the his/her card issuing bank.

The Grievance Redressal Mechanism available to users of WLA is same as that available to users of banks' ATMs for failed/disputed transactions. While the primary responsibility to redress grievances of customers relating to failed transactions at such WLAs will vest with the card issuing bank, the sponsor bank will provide necessary support in this regard, ensuring that White Label ATM Operator (WLAO) makes available relevant records and information to the Issuing bank.

Customer should destroy the card upon card expiry or closure of account, cut it into four pieces through the magnetic strip/chip before disposing it off.

Customers should observe following Dos and Don'ts to keep their transaction safe and secure at ATM/WLA:

  • Customer should conduct any ATM/WLA transaction in complete privacy.
  • Only one card holder should enter and access ATM/WLA kiosk at a time.
  • He/she should never lend his/her card to anyone.
  • Do not write PIN on the card.
  • Never share PIN with anyone or seek help from anybody by handing over the card and revealing the PIN.
  • Never let anyone see the PIN while it is being entered at the ATM
  • Never use a PIN that could be easily guessed. e.g. his/her birthday, birthday of spouse or telephone number.
  • Never leave card in the ATM/WLA.
  • egister mobile number with the card issuing bank for getting alerts for ATM /WLA transactions. Any unauthorized card transaction in the account, if observed, should be immediately reported to the card issuing bank.
  • Beware of any extra devices attached to the ATMs/WLAs. These may be put to capture customer's data fraudulently. If any such device is found, inform the security guard / bank/ white label ATM entity maintaining it immediately.
  • Keep an eye on suspicious movements of people around ATMs/WLAs. Customer should beware of strangers trying to engaging him/her in conversation or offering assistance / help in operating the ATM
  • Remember that bank officials will never ask for card details or PIN over telephone / email. So, do not respond to any phishing mails from people indicating that they represent your bank.

A Credit Information Company (CIC) is an independent organization licensed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that signs up banks, NBFCs and financial institutions as its members. It then aggregates data and identity information of individual consumers and businesses from its members.

All banks and financial institutions are required to share information like current balance, payment history, demographic details etc, pertaining to all accounts held by a customer who has a loan, credit card or ready credit account with the Credit Information Companies. Credit reporting is very important in today's financial system and is considered a primary factor while evaluating the credit worthiness of customers and monitoring the credit circumstances of consumers and businesses. This information enables lenders to function more efficiently and at a lower cost than is otherwise possible.

Citi may tie up with credit bureaus authorized by the RBI and will share credit information including but not limited to your current balance, payment history etc along with your demographic details with these credit bureaus on a monthly basis, as per the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005.

The credit history & repayment behavior of a customer is translated into a number called "credit score" developed by the Credit Information Companies. Credit score is one of the parameters used to review a credit card application. Credit information companies only provide factual credit information and do not provide any opinion, indication or comment pertaining to whether credit should or should not be granted. It is in your best interest to maintain a good credit history by paying the necessary dues in a timely manner. With credit information companies in place, responsible customers can expect faster and more competitive services at better terms from the credit grantors.

Default by customers would be available with the credit information companies, which in turn could impact your credit worthiness for future requirements.

Home Credit:

Home Credit account is a current account linked to your loan. All amounts deposited in the Home Credit account in excess of the threshold amount and subject to a maximum of your outstanding loan is transferred on a daily basis to your loan account to offset the interest being charged on your loan. This amount is always available for withdrawal by you as an overdraft line.

https://www.online.citibank.co.in/soc/soc-pdfs/mortgages.pdf

Home Credit advantages:

  • Use the Home Credit account to deposit your excess savings, annual bonus rather than keeping them idle or making partial prepayments. You will have the flexibility to withdraw the idle/surplus money deposited in Home Credit account at any point of time.
  • Just deposit these funds into your Home Credit account and enjoy interest saves on your home loan to the extent deposited.
  • Since interest is calculated on daily outstanding balance, every rupee kept in the Home Credit account each day, goes towards reducing your interest.
  • The Home Credit account can be used like a normal current account and you will be provided with a cheque book and an ATM Card. You will also have access to our online banking portal and our entire gamut of banking facilities such as:
  • Transact.
  • Transfer funds across your Citibank and non Citibank Account.
  • Order for Demand Drafts.
  • Pay utility bills.
  • Pay your Citi Credit Card bills.

Home Credit is a unique facility, which combines the advantages of a home loan with the flexibility of a current account. Under this scheme, a current account is opened simultaneously with a home loan account and both these accounts will be linked. The balance maintained in the current account will automatically be swept to the home loan account at the end of every day leaving a minimum threshold (as set by the bank) in the current account. The amount so swept will be available in the current account in the form of line amount. The line amount will act as the interest saver in the home loan account as the swept amount reduces the loan outstanding. Interest will be charged in your loan account after considering the amount thus swept to your loan account. In case of withdrawals/ deposits in the Current account, there will be a change in the line amount and accordingly the loan account balance will increase/ decrease and interest will be charged.

In a Home credit vanilla account, interest savings from the EMI component, is returned to the line amount on monthly basis.

In a Home credit fast track account, interest savings from the EMI component is adjusted against the loan outstanding on a permanent basis, thereby reducing your loan tenure.

Every month, an alert will be sent to your registered mobile number on the interest saved in your Home credit account.

The line amount will be included in the withdrawal balance of your current account.

The balance maintained in the current account will automatically be swept to the home loan account at the end of every day leaving a minimum threshold (as decided by the bank) in the current account. The amount so swept will be available in the current account in the form of line amount. If the available line amount is more than the ideal principal outstanding on your home credit loan, the same will reflect as NIL.

To know the ideal principal outstanding on your loan account, we request you to kindly contact our 24*7 CitiPhone helpline at the number available.

At the time of pre closure, you need to make payment towards the outstanding on your home credit loan along with pre closure charges (if any). The line amount in the current account will also be utilized at the time of pre closure. Please contact our 24*7 CitiPhone helpline to know the exact amount for pre closure.

The principal outstanding on your home credit will be sum of the outstanding on your loan and the line amount available on your current account.

Ready Credit - Overdraft Facility

Citibank Ready Credit is a personal over draft line linked to your Suvidha Salary Account. This facility is offered to employees of select corporate customers. It is a simple, easy-to-use Overdraft facility which provides account holders an Overdraft Line of up to five times of their net monthly take home salary (up to a maximum of Rs5 Lakh).

Account holders can apply for this facility along with the Suvidha application form, i.e. at the time of Suvidha Account Opening. Account holders may also apply separately/ later through a simple online form, or call up CitiPhone and ask for this facility.

  • Instant access to the assigned overdraft line ( upto Rs5 Lakh*) in your account which can be accessed through CitiPhone and online through CBOL.
  • No Documentation/ No Post Dated Cheques and No Prepayment Penalty
  • Online transactions like funds transfers, bill payments etc. possible.
  • Repay the utilized amount per your comfort, subject to a minimum monthly repayment of 5% of the line utilized
  • This facility remains with the account holder as long as he keeps repaying his minimum dues and meets the bank's internal criteria. There is no need to reapply for this product as is the case with other credit instruments
  • Attractive interest rate

Funds transfer can be done through CitiPhone or CBOL (Citibank Online)

There is an activation fee of Rs.500, which is a onetime fee payable when you use this facility for the first time. An annual renewal fee is charged at 2% of the Line Amount or Rs.750, whichever is lower. This fee is charged on the completion of one year from the date of first usage of the Ready Credit facility.

Once the Suvidha account is opened and has one salary credit, the Ready Credit line automatically gets set to up to 5 times of the net monthly salary credited in the account. To activate the account, simply use your Ready Credit account through any of the steps highlighted in FAQ # 4.

The interest is charged only on the amount used and the period used. For Example if you only use Rs10,000 for 15 days then you need to pay interest only for 15 days and not for the month. Citibank offers very attractive interest rates for its Ready Credit. The interest is calculated on a daily reducing balance and there is no pre-closure penalty charged. The interest for the amount used will have to be paid on the 1st of every month. In case there is no usage of the facility, there will be no interest payable.

You can utilize the complete amount assigned to you as your personal line of credit. You can check the credit line assigned to you by logging on to Citibank Online (CBOL). Details of your Ready Credit Line will appear under the option - Line Amount.

Every month there is a mandatory repayment of 5% of the outstanding balance, as on the fixed due date, which is taken from the Suvidha Account. For example if the outstanding is Rs50,000, you have to pay Rs2,500. This amount will be earmarked from the Suvidha account for payment towards the Ready Credit account. Once the minimum due is paid off, this amount added back to your withdrawal limit on the Ready Credit line.

The interest for the amount used will have to be paid on the 1st of every month in case there is no usage of the facility, there will be no interest payable. The minimum due towards the principal amount used is deducted on the fixed due date.

Any amount in excess of the minimum due can be transferred to the Ready Credit Account as repayment.

The Ready Credit line remains with you till the time you have a Corporate Suvidha Salary account with Citibank. As you keep repaying the amount used earlier, the same funds become available to you on your Ready Credit account for future use. However, since Ready Credit Account is linked to a Salary Account, the facility will cease to exist if the salary stops coming to the Suvidha Account. This could be because of a change in job. In such cases the account holder is supposed to clear the Ready Credit outstanding.

In case there is no salary credit for 45 days, this facility will be withdrawn and the account holder is required to repay the outstanding over 20 equated installment of the Principal Amount. The interest on the outstanding needs to be paid every month. This would help you close the ready Credit Account in 20 months. You can give an SI or ECS for paying the monthly dues.

In case the new employer of the customer has a Suvidha relationship with Citi, the customer can continue to use his old Suvidha account as well as the Ready Credit facility. All the customer needs to do is update his latest Office Address and Residence Address (if changed) along with the details of the new Corporate being joined. This can be done by contacting CitiPhone or the service RM for that corporate.

There is a monthly minimum due earmarked against the balance available in the Suvidha account. This means that customers can withdraw the complete amount except for the monthly minimum due of 5%. Once the minimum due is paid, the funds would be again available as withdrawal amount on his Ready Credit account.
