What Is A Fuel Surcharge Waiver? 

A fuel surcharge is a charge levied on your credit card transaction amount. This is usually charged at 2.5% of the fuel purchase amount, which is waived off by credit card companies as an added benefit to credit card holders. 

A fuel surcharge waiver is a benefit offered by ICICI Bank to its credit card customers. Under this benefit, ICICI Bank waives off 2.5% of the fuel surcharge levied by petrol pumps on fuel purchases. This benefit is available on specific credit cards issued by ICICI Bank. 

The transaction amount should be a minimum of Rs.400 and a maximum of Rs.4000 to get this fuel surcharge waiver.
