In certain countries, the overseas banks providing ATMs or POS machine payment services may offer to charge you in Indian Rupees, this concept is called “Dynamic Currency Conversion” (DCC). This process allows the ATMs or the Merchants to charge significantly higher mark-up on the currency conversion.

However, despite the safeguards, it should be noted that if in case a transaction is approved under DCC, the customer will have to bear the loss related to exchange mark-up. The card issuer is not liable for “Dynamic Currency Conversion” related charges and will not be able to refund any such charges in case you proceed with DCC transaction and accepts the DCC charges in the ATM / POS machine.
