Dear List Members, Completing transaction of less than ₹ 5000 without PIN requires cardholder to keep contactless payment (tap & pay) switched on. However, this is fraught with its own risk. Those who want to use this feature, are advised to carry their debit/credit card wrapped in an alluminium foil or alluminium wallet. This considerably reduces the risk of someone swiping the card without cardholder's consent when it is inside their pocket/wallet.
