Settlement Kya Hai? (Simple Bhasha Mein)

Jab aap card block karte hain, toh wo 'Future' transactions ko rokta hai. Lekin agar block karne se kuch seconds pehle koi transaction 'Authorize' ho chuka tha, toh bank ka system use process kar deta hai. Isse Merchant Settlement kehte hain, jise dispute ke bina roka nahi ja sakta.

Why Money Can Be Deducted After Card Is Blocked

  • Transaction initiated before block request
  • International or recurring subscription charge
  • Delayed merchant settlement processing
  • Offline POS batch upload after block timing

Blocking prevents future transactions, but previously authorized payments may still settle. For detailed fraud response steps, customers may also review the HDFC credit card fraud reporting guide .

Unauthorized Transaction After Card Block – What It Means

Agar card block hone ke baad bhi unauthorized transaction dikhta hai, toh iska matlab yeh ho sakta hai ki transaction block hone se pehle authorize ho chuka tha ya merchant settlement delay hua hai. Aise cases mein bank dispute aur verification process ke through transaction ko review karta hai.
