While digital payment has made the life of the common man easier, it is becoming a new headache for petrol pump owners. Therefore, they have decided not to accept UPI and other digital payments from May 10.
The life of the common man may change a little from tomorrow. The UPI and digital payment which has made their life easier, is going to increase their problems at petrol pumps from tomorrow i.e. 10th May. Petrol pump owners have announced not to accept money from UPI and other digital platforms from tomorrow.
Due to the increase in cyber fraud through digital payments, petrol pump owners and organizations in many cities of the country have decided not to accept digital payments. According to a TOI report, petrol pumps in these cities are not only going to stop accepting payments through UPI, but they have also threatened to stop accepting payments through cards from May 10.
UPI payment will be stopped at petrol pumps here
Recently, Vidarbha Petroleum Dealers Association said that due to increasing cases of cyber fraud, petrol pump owners are facing many problems. They are also suffering financial losses due to this. Fraudsters hack the card or netbanking of the people and make payment from it. Then when a person complains in this matter, the police cancels the transaction.
The Federation of All Maharashtra Petroleum Dealers Association says that due to such cyber fraud, the accounts of many petrol pump owners have been completely blocked. Due to this, on one hand they are suffering financial loss, and on the other hand they are also facing problems in receiving the remaining payments.
A similar announcement has been made by the Petrol Pump Dealers Association of Nashik. Here the association’s president Vijay Thackeray said that he has received complaints from many petrol pump owners in this regard. Their digital transactions are cancelled and later their account is blocked.
I did not take tension earlier
Vijay Thackeray says that earlier this amount was very small, so often petrol pump owners did not pay attention to it. But now such incidents are increasing, so this decision has been taken.
Regarding this, President of Federation of All Maharashtra Petroleum Dealers Association, Amit Gupta says that the government has been informed about this. Petrol pump owners will now start digital payment only when they get assurance of appropriate action.
Now the Petrol Pump Association of Maharashtra is going to implement this decision. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how it is reacted across the country, because cyber fraud is becoming a big problem in the true sense today.
