[Resolved]  ICICI Bank — unauthorised transactions on my icici bank account

Address:

560042

I use an expense tracker on my phone to tracker purchases and today I realized that the balance in the SMS was different from my tracker's spending account balance. I checked the SMS history and it matched with my tracker. When I logged into the iMobile app it showed my almost 20 new transactions of small volume i.e. ~1 rupee and ~2 rupee which totally upto 55.96 and the transaction name was a petrol pump where I usually fill petrol. I thought it was a hacking attempt and called customer care and they told me it's surcharge on fuel which the station was claiming. Why would I be charged after I have already paid for the money. I understand that the government has power to take money out of a personal's account in case of some violation but this preposterous that a petrol pump can take money out of my account without my knowledge. Even the bank didn't notify me and allowed this to happen. The petrol pump never told me there would be a automatic surcharge when I paid at the pump. This is very wrong that a private entity like a pump can take money out of my personal account without my authorization!
